Texas Empowerment Academy needed 40 computers for students during COVID 19.  The 100, Amherst Holdings LLC, and other community leaders collaboratively raise $12,000 to purchase Chromebooks.

The 100 Black Men of Austin, Inc. and Texas Empowerment Academy hosted a community forum to discuss the state of Black America.  They were community leaders, and families in attendance to discuss next steps (education, finances, home ownership, politics, etc).  The 100 presented a $10,000 new building contribution to Texas Empowerment Academy.

The 100 Black Men of Austin, Inc. registered 25 VDRs for this year’s elections.  Thanks to 100 members James Matlock and Jeff Travillion on coordinating and executing the event.
