The African American Club, was founded on 11/20/1990 by a group of professional and retired African American men in response to the socio-economic needs of minority families, single parent families and the problems children faced in the schools such as drug and alcohol abuse, teen pregnancy, lack of discipline/supervision, lack of purpose and lack of motivation to succeed in life. Our goal is to give something back to the community to nurture young people. The African American Club Center, a community and cultural center, is now located at the Historic Booker T. Washington School. The African American Club is committed to embracing cultural diversity and believes America’s success is based on similar principles of equality for all without regards to race, creed, sex, color, religion or national origin.
