What is Black Professional Men, Inc.? Black Professional Men, Inc. (BPM) is a nonprofit organization based in Baltimore, Maryland and established in 1991 to address the social, economic and political awareness needs of the African-American community, especially those of the African-American male. Why do we exist?
- Statistics on our community weigh heavily on the negative side. Whereas, the positive images go unnoticed or are given a small portion on the last page of the newspaper.
- According to reports, African-Americans have $400 billion in purchasing power. However, that $400 billion purchasing power leaves the African-American community; thereby, creating economic empowerment for other communities.
- There are many laws and legislation enacted that directly affect the African-American community. However, many African Americans are not involved in the political process.
An awareness of social, economic, and political issues empower the African-American community. Through our efforts, these issues are addressed.
