In 1989, an informal organization of men in business and professions were organized by founding President William L. Sheals to become involved in the county school system. The main purpose of the organization was to provide positive African American male role models for the youth in their communities.
In early 1992, Reverend Sheals formally established the organization with twenty-two members. The formal name was “The Concerned Black Men of North Metro”. Their efforts were confined primarily to the Norcross area of Gwinnett County. In May 1992, “The Concerned Black Men of North Metro” made an application to the National Office of the100 Black Men of America, Inc. for charter membership. In June 1992, at their National Convention in San Francisco, California, the Board of Directors of the 100 Black Men of America, Inc. issued a charter to the North Metro Chapter. The 100 Black Men of North Metro Atlanta, Inc. became their twenty-seventh chapter.
In 1995, the organization reorganized, creating its present form and extending organizational activities into Cobb, Gwinnett, and North Fulton Counties.
In 1996, North Metro received its first program grant from United Parcel Service (UPS). The grant supported the establishment of a program called the “Knights of the 100”. The program was geared towards developing youth in character, promoting academic achievement and instilling self esteem, confidence and pride in our African American youth.

🚔 Men of Tomorrow: Law Enforcement Day 🚔 This past Saturday, the Men of Tomorrow mentees at the 100 Black Men of North Metro Atlanta, Inc. spent the day with local law enforcement officers at all three of our mentoring sites: North Fulton, Gwinnett, and Cobb. Our young men talked openly with officers and deputies, asked tough questions and learned about: ✅ Their rights and responsibilities during encounters with law enforcement ✅ How to handle traffic stops safely and respectfully ✅ Careers in law enforcement and public service ✅ Building trust and understanding in our communities Conversations like these help our mentees feel more confident and better prepared, and they show them the many paths open to them. A big thank you to the Roswell Police Department, the Gwinnett County Police Department and the Cobb County Sheriff's Office for giving their time and talking honestly with our young men. Thank you as well to our mentors, volunteers and families. You make days like this possible. 🙌🏾 What They See Is What They'll Be.💯 #100BlackMenNMA #MenOfTomorrow #WhatTheySeeIsWhatTheyllBe #Mentoring #LawEnforcementDay #CommunityPartnership #Roswell #GwinnettCounty #CobbCounty #YouthMentoring
