Our Mission
Improving the quality of life within our communities and enhancing educational and economic opportunities for all.
OUR VISION
The Organization
The initial members were successful black men from various walks of life who decided to pool their skills and experiences to ensure the future of their communities by aiming an intense number of resources toward youth development. They eventually adopted the name 100 Black Men, Inc. Among the founders were David Dinkins, Livingston Wingate, Andrew Hatcher, and Jackie Robinson.
The Organization
100 Black Men of Madison, Inc. began its operation in 1994 and was incorporated in 1995 as a nonprofit organization comprised of members from many professional disciplines in the greater Madison area. The Madison chapter was established with the concept that it would make a positive difference in the lives of area youth, especially African American males, through mentoring, education, health and wellness, and economic development programs. 100 Black Men of Madison, Inc. is an affiliate of 100 Black Men of America, Inc.
Commitment
100 Black Men of Madison, Inc. is committed to the intellectual development of youth and the economic empowerment of the African American community based on the following precepts: respect for family, spirituality, justice, and integrity.
