Dr. Brown was also a founding member of the 100 Black Men of New York, Inc. a civic group founded in 1963. He also served as a chapter president of 100 Black Men. I am proud to have met him on several occasions during my tenure at 100 Black Men.
I too was a president of a 100 Black Men local chapter in the New York State for two terms. As the Business Editor of Star Journal News visitor’s guide, I can speak directly to the influence of men such as Dr. Roscoe Brown who turned over every stone to achieve fairness and equality in all phases of life for African Americans in Society. I recently was interviewed in Black Enterprise Magazine as a BE Modern Man and made mention of one of my mentees former Tuskegee Airman Ed Monroe whispering in my ear on many occasions and stating that “We all have a little Tuskegee in us.”
Men such as Dr. Brown did not rest on their laurels during their lifetime, and set the bar high for us to emulate during our lifetime.
