In 1986, Atlanta-based entrepreneur, Nathaniel R. Goldston, III assembled 18 of his friends and associates together to share the vision of starting a community empowerment organization that would focus on Atlanta’s underprivileged youth. Goldston, who had been exposed to a similar concept during a business meeting in New York called One Hundred Black Men of New York, aptly named the newly formed coalition 100 Black Men of Atlanta, Inc.
100 Black Men of Atlanta was now one of eight 100 Black Men organizations based in cities around the nation. Together these organizations joined forces to create 100 Black Men of America headquartered in Atlanta, which now has more than 100 chapters worldwide, with more than 10,000 members. 100 Black Men of Atlanta has grown to become one of the largest of these chapters, with over 200 members locally.
Through its programs to support Atlanta’s challenged communities, members have become actively involved in educational issues affecting youth, public policy, as well as economic, social, and health issues impacting the communities it serves. The organization is often called upon to endorse efforts that support its mission. The members of 100 Black Men of Atlanta are proud of the accomplishments of the organization and the achievements of its students. They look forward to effecting positive change for Atlanta’s challenged communities and its youth for years to come.

The introductions conclude. The commitment begins. Today, we celebrate the final group in our 100 Black Men of Atlanta Class of 2026 spotlight series: Bryant Marks, Michael Barlow, Ovie Mughelli, Quandrell Claybrooks, Reginald Ellis, Robert Griggs, and Winston Etheridge III, MBA. Throughout this series, we’ve heard what happens when someone takes the time to invest in another person. Doors open. Confidence grows. Possibilities become clearer. And those who once received that encouragement find their own ways to pass it on. That is how mentorship comes full circle—and how a legacy of service continues. As we close these introductions, we celebrate these seven men and the entire Class of 2026. Their accomplishments brought them to this moment.

Our 100 Black Men of Atlanta Class of 2026 introductions continue with Brandon Douglas, Lamont Franklin, Mark Williams, Olatunde Oshikoya, Sammie Dow, Terrell Thomas, William Norris, and William Watkins. These introductions are about more than careers and accomplishments.

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

“The 100 is my home for me to make a difference.” For @miguellloydinc, service through the 100 Black Men has been part of his journey for nearly two decades — beginning with the 100 Black Men of Jacksonville in 2008 and continuing with the 100 Black Men of Atlanta. As both a member and the founder of Lloyd Media Group, Miguel has had the opportunity to help tell the stories behind the work. And that work goes far beyond what you see at major events. It’s Project Success. It’s Saturday School. It’s PODs. It’s mentors showing up week after week. It’s creating a continuum that allows young people to grow from Project Success to Collegiate 100, Emerging 100 and, ultimately, the 100. That is the story worth telling. Because authentic storytelling helps our community see the impact, understand the mission and recognize the people doing the work. And as Miguel puts it, if our members and classes are competing to raise more money and serve more young people, there’s only one real winner: The kids.

“We have to show up consistently and with intention.” For Past Chair @sidbarron, mentorship is more than something he believes in — it has been part of his own journey. Hall of Fame baseball player Hank Aaron, who was also a mentor with the 100 Black Men of Atlanta, helped shape Sid’s path in business. Today, Sid has seen firsthand what happens when that same investment is poured into the next generation. The impact becomes generational. Mentees grow. Possibilities expand. And in some cases, the young men who were once mentored return as members of the 100 — ready to mentor someone else. That is the power of showing up. Sid’s message is simple: find an area you are passionate about, pour that passion into our young people, and do the work consistently and with intention. Because mentorship still matters — and the need has never been greater.

“You can’t do everything, but you have to do something.” Past Chair and longtime mentor Kevin Gooch (@lawdawg53) reminds us that the power of the 100 Black Men of Atlanta is found in members identifying where they can make a difference — and then showing up with purpose. Whether it’s introducing a young person to engineering, encouraging a student on the first day of school, or simply making sure they know someone is in their corner, every act of mentorship matters. For Kevin, the best way to understand the 100 is simple: come see the work. See the young people. See the impact. See what happens when a community consistently shows up and lets our youth know, “You matter, you’re not alone, and we have your back.” That is the mission.

What can happen when a young person is exposed to a world bigger than the one they already know? A Saturday program can become a visit to the Naval Academy. A FIRST LEGO League competition can become the beginning of a career in software engineering. A mentor can become the person who shows up during one of the hardest seasons of a young person’s life. And a mentee can grow up, come back and become a mentor for the generation behind them. That is Project Success. Through mentorship, education, exposure and opportunity, the 100 Black Men of Atlanta is helping young people see what is possible — and giving them the relationships and resources to pursue it. But this work requires all of us. Help us continue showing up for Atlanta’s youth and creating opportunities that can change the trajectory of their lives.

Brandon gained national attention after preparing students from primarily under-resourced Atlanta schools to compete—and win—at the Harvard Debate Council Summer Workshops. His work has since expanded into a broader mission of developing young people, building high-performance cultures, and creating pathways to some of the nation’s leading colleges and universities.

We extend our sincere gratitude to Jon Ossoff and his office for their continued support of the communities we serve. “100 Black Men of Atlanta provides vital resources to the community, and I’ve been proud to work alongside their leadership and members. I elevated this project as a top priority and secured bipartisan support to deliver this funding,” said Senator Ossoff. This federal investment in the 100 Black Men of Atlanta’s Fatherhood Initiative represents a significant step forward in our mission to strengthen families and create pathways to long-term success for fathers and their children. “On behalf of the 100 Black Men of Atlanta, we are deeply grateful to Senator Jon Ossoff for his leadership and commitment to strengthening families across our community. This investment in our Fatherhood Initiative affirms what we have always believed: when fathers are equipped, supported, and empowered, entire communities thrive. These resources will allow us to expand our reach, deepen our impact, and continue providing the coaching, life skills, and critical support systems that help fathers lead with purpose, stability, and vision. We look forward to building on this partnership to create lasting change for the families we serve,” said Aaron Swain, Chairman, 100 Black Men of Atlanta. Together, we are investing in fathers, strengthening families, and building a brighter future for the next generation.

This pre-symposium for 2026 was hosted at Morehouse School of Medicine. Violence is framed not as an isolated act but as a reflection of broader conditions requiring thoughtful, sustained engagement. This pre-symposium for 2026—hosted by Morehouse School of Medicine and the 100 Black Men of Atlanta and led by committee leads Larry Johnson, Richard Byrd, and Joshua Byrd—sets the stage for an interactive symposium focused on open, honest conversation about violence prevention. The discussion emphasizes organizing compelling power to strategically make a difference, and defines non-violence as a love-centered way of thinking, speaking, acting, and engaging that begins with personal transformation before societal transformation, addressing the “heart mind regulation” that is missing.

We are focused on serving our kids with very specific programming. Project Success, PODS, Anti-Gun Violence, connections to top universities, and more. Your donations to the 100 Black Men of Atlanta are great investments in our youth. Give today!

Coffee. Conversation. Connection. Purpose. ☕️🤝 This weekend at Coffee & Conversations, service-minded men from across Atlanta—members and non-members—came together for real fellowship. No speeches. No posturing. Just authentic connection, shared values, and a collective commitment to showing up for our youth and our communities. Because when good men build community with intention, impact follows. Thank you @blackcoffeeatlanta for hosting, and to everyone who pulled up, listened, shared, and connected. If you’ve been looking for a brotherhood rooted in service, there’s a seat at the table for you. 🎥 @lloydmediagroup #100BlackMenATL #CoffeeAndConversations #BrotherhoodInService #AtlantaCommunity #MentorshipMatters #ServiceLeadership #CommunityFirst #AtlantaNetworking #PurposeDriven #BlackMenLead #VolunteerATL #StrongerTogether

REV. JESSE L. JACKSON, SR. 1941 – 2026 Faith. Courage. Service. Rest in Power. Today, we honor the life and legacy of Rev. Jesse L. Jackson, Sr., who passed away on February 17, 2026, at the age of 84. From the front lines of the civil rights movement to decades of organizing for dignity, opportunity, and justice, Rev. Jackson’s voice carried hope into rooms where it was needed most. His leadership reminded the world that service is not a moment — it’s a lifetime. At the 100 Black Men of Atlanta, we reflect with gratitude for a life poured into people, progress, and purpose. May we continue the work with the same faith, courage, and commitment. Rest in Power, Reverend Jackson. #JesseJackson #KeepHopeAlive #CivilRightsLegacy #LegacyOfService #100BlackMenATL #RestInPower
