100 Black Men of Eastern New York Inc.

Builds its Deep Roots On Long Island As It Expands Its Service Territory To Eastern New York.

New York, New York - The first chapter of 100 Black Men of America, Inc. was established in New York City in 1963 and was named the One Hundred Black Men of New York, Inc. Although it was established in New York City, it had deep Roots on Long Island as many of the men in the New York City Chapter lived on Long Island and had the desire to establish a chapter on Long Island. A conversation was held with the NYC Chapter and shortly thereafter in 1974 a chapter was formed in Hempstead, Long Island.

The 100 Black Men of Eastern New York, Inc. is known throughout Nassau and Suffolk County. The founding president was William Urquhart, Jr., a resident of the Village of Hempstead.  Mr. William Urquhart, Jr. was a local real estate broker and the first black person to serve on the Hempstead School Board.

Today new chapter is known as the 100 Black Men of Eastern New York, Inc. As it builds on its deep roots on Long Island and expands its service territory into Eastern New York City, it will continue to serve the community and be affectionately known as “The Organization That Makes A Difference.”

The “100”as it is known on Long Island for short, advocates for excellence in 4 main areas which are Mentoring, Education, Health and Wellness and Economic Empowerment. Its goal is to bring together a variety of men from diverse backgrounds who are committed to the community and have exemplified excellence in their prospective spheres of influence, then unite them to impact our community in a positive manner.

As Long Island seeks to develop its infrastructure; it must also develop its human capital, intellectual capital, and social capital, and cultural capital. Organizations such as this chapter of the 100 Black Men, will be crucial to developing and nurturing the next generation of leaders on Long Island.

The men who formed the initial chapter on Long Island in 1974 were well off financially, but thought perhaps if they came together under an organization, under a structure, they would be able to make a significant difference in the community. By 1986 initial meetings with several chapters that had been formed across America had been convened to discuss and lay out a plan to form a national body.

On October 2, 1986, representatives from 100 Black Men Chapters converged in Washington, DC, for a final meeting to establish a national organization.  Today that body is called 100 Black Men of America, Inc.

Some of the members of the first chapters included businessmen and industry leaders such as David Dinkins, Robert Mangum, Dr. William Hayling, Nathaniel Goldston III, Livingston Wingate, Andrew Hatcher, and Jackie Robinson.
