The 100 Black Men of South Metro, Inc. is currently located at 6338 Church Street,  Riverdale, Georgia.  We are a non-profit organization which pools the talents of successful “African-American” men to improve the quality of life in our community.  The ranks of the organization are filled with businessmen, attorneys, physicians, educators and many other professionals.

It is a part of the national organization of 100 Black Men of America, Inc., which is comprised of chapters in all of the major cities of America and four countries outside of the United States of America.  The organization’s origin can be traced back to New York City in the 1960’s.  Prominent African-American professionals organized to address the needs of the black community, especially the “black male.”  In the early 1980’s Mayor Davis Dinkins, then Manhattan Borough’s President was instrumental in bringing the organization to national prominence.  Nine other cities developed programs similar to those in New York.  In 1986, The 100 Black Men of America, Inc. was formed as a confederation of all existing chapters.  This came out of a desire to share information and resources.

The South Metro Chapter was formed five years later in 1990, becoming the second chapter in the Atlanta Metro area.  It was formed to address the needs of the communities in the southern portion of the city.  These areas include South Fulton County, Clayton County, Henry County and Fayette County.

There are currently 106-chapters including four international chapters, who make-up the national organization.  Membership has exceeded 10,000 men, volunteering their time, talents and treasures to improve the community.  Metropolitan Atlanta serves as home to four chapters and the national headquarters.
