Concerned Black Men of Lufkin, Texas Inc.
The Lufkin Chapter of Concerned Black Men (CBMLT) was organized in 1992 and is composed
of a group of professional men dedicated to making Lufkin a better place for our families and the community as a whole. Concerned
Black Men (CBM) is a national, non-profit organization, founded in 1975 when several Philadelphia police officers sponsored social
events for kids at risk to gang violence. CBM’s vision was to fill the void of positive black male role models in many communities
by providing mentors and programs that affirmed the care and discipline that all youth need, while providing opportunities for academic
and career enrichment. While the vision of CBM’s founding members has expanded to include children and their parents nationwide, the
philosophy of men offering themselves as positive role models to children has remained CBM’s mission for more than 30 years.
