This is more than a recap. It is a story 40 years in the making. In 1986, a group of Black men came together around a simple but powerful belief: our young people deserved to see what was possible—and they had a responsibility to help them get there. They lit the torch. Four decades later, that legacy can be seen in the lives changed, doors opened, careers launched, families impacted, and leaders who are now reaching back to lift the next generation. At the 2026 100 Honors Gala, we heard that story from the people who lived it—from our founders and current leadership to Project Success alumni and emerging leaders who are now carrying the work forward. This is what legacy looks like. One generation pours into the next. Opportunity becomes achievement. Achievement becomes responsibility. And the torch keeps moving forward. The torch is still burning. The work continues. Watch the 2026 100 Black Men of Atlanta Honors Gala recap and experience 40 years of mentorship, leadership, service, and impact. Here’s to the next 40. #100BlackMenOfAtlanta #100BMOA #MentoringThe100Way #WhatTheySeeIsWhatTheyllBe #Atlanta #BlackLeadership #Mentorship #Legacy
