Hempstead, New York - The first chapter of “The 100” began in New York City and arose out of the need for social action and the need for Black Men to come together and organize to be able to have a positive impact on their communities’ problems and challenges in a positive manner.
The first chapter of “The 100” was named the 100 Black Men of New York, Inc.
Many of the members of the initial chapter in New York City worked in the city, and in the 1970’s and around that they set us a meeting with the NYC chapter to have a conversation to ascertain if a chapter could be established on Long Island.
The goal was to establish a chapter in the region that likewise had challenges that needed to be addressed through social action and bringing together black men under a structure to address both challenges and opportunities.
“100 Black Men of America, Inc. was established in 1986. “I was fortunate to be at “The 100” meeting in Hempstead when the vote was taken by the membership to join 100 Black Men of America, Inc. as a member chapter, and the chapter was identified as a founding chapter of America’s prominent and premiere mentoring organization in the United States.” Phil Andrews, Founding President, 100 Black Men of Eastern New York, Inc.
