Thomas Crumdy, a mentor in 100 Black Men of Coastal North Carolina's mentoring program and a retired Correctional Sergeant, visited Town Creek Middle School a few weeks ago. He gave the students a "bird's eye view" of the job duties of a Correctional Officer and the importance of making good decisions in life.
The 100 Black Men of Coastal NC were honored to be asked by Hoggard High School to participate in a Black History Month panel discussion! Community service leaders and chapter members were invited to share their perspectives and insights on a range of topics and answer questions. Participants included Sandra McClammy, Dr. Tyawanna Bell, Jacen Murphy, Travis Corpening, and chapter president, Angelo Williams. Several chapter members, Ernie Davis, Stan Hixon, and Dwight Findlay set up a table the next day to showcase our programs and offerings to the entire student body.
A warm thank you to Hoggard High School for highlighting our chapter and other Black-owned businesses and Black-led organizations at the event. It was a wonderful experience to celebrate and honor Black History Month by connecting with our community's youth.
In recognition of Black History Month, the 100 Black Men of Coastal NC invited the African American members of the Brunswick County Sheriff's Office to the 100's mentoring program at Town Creek Middle School, on February 22, 2024. The Sheriff Deputies focused on the value and importance of avoiding confrontation by being respectful when engaging with members of law enforcement. The officers in attendance were: Deputy Hardie, Deputy McRae, and Chief Deputy Sanders.
