"When our organization began to
search its ranks to find an individual to take a
leadership role in helping to enhance the activities of
our 100 Black Men of Tomorrow Program, we didn’t have to
look very far. Richard Asbury was willing ready and
able to assume that challenge. Richard brought to the
program a series of classroom activities that proved to
be enriching and interesting to our young Black mentees.
He earned the respect of our membership, the mentees,
our volunteers and the parents and/or guardians of our
mentees."
