A Legacy of Service continued...
The 100 Black Men, Inc.: The concept of the 100 began in New York in 1963 when a group of concerned African American men began to meet to explore ways of improving conditions in their community. These men envisioned an organization that would implement programs designed to improve the quality of life for African
Americans and other minorities, and ensure the future of their communities through youth development. The "100 Black Men, Inc." has grown to over 116 chapters with more than 10,000 successful black men from various walks of life, mentoring more than 100,000 youth participants annually. Curley Dossman, Jr. is the Chairman of the National Board of Directors. Founded June 24, 1989, the founding members of the South Florida100 believed that they needed to take a leadership role toward effecting such
improvement by combating the plagues of illiteracy, professional stagnation, and political and economic disenfranchisement which infect South Florida community. The Founding Members were: Steve Bullock, William E. Diggs, John E. Dixon, Jr., Albert E. Dotson, Jr., Antonio Junior, Dewey W. Knight, III, Joseph L. Moore, Baron D. Thrower, Mark A. Valentine, and Lynn C. Washington. During their 27 years of existence, 100BMSF has positively affected thousands of lives in South Florida.
