Founded in 1989 by behavioral health expert, cultural educator, and social architect, Cleo Manago, the Black Men's Xchange (BMX), is a human rights, educational, anti-oppression, and advocacy organization. BMX is the nation's oldest and largest community-based organization for same gender loving (SGL), bisexual, and diverse African-descended males to actually locate itself geographically within Black communities. Black Men's Xchange conducts activities that promote constructive leadership and decision making, healthy lifestyles, and social justice. It is a national nonprofit organization. This collection primarily consists of administrative materials for the New York branch of BMX. These materials include bylaws, membership information, committee meeting minutes, correspondence, and website information. Additionally, there is some printed matter, such as newsletters, articles, and programs for workshops and other events.
