All across metro Atlanta Black families are uniting to preserve Traditional Southern Black Values!
Some kind of way, as Atlanta grew into ‘Black Mecca’, the values that made it the ‘Black Mecca’ got lost, perhaps even stolen. We’re stealing them back!
More Stable families!
Providing religious and other resources to improve Black Family Life in Atlanta!
Innovative Economic Development Solutions
As Black communities face the effects of decades of underdevelopment and lack of investment, the Metro Atlanta Black Bourgeois Association is helping invest in our future!
Committed Leadership
Some of the best and most established families in Black Atlanta are represented in our organization; the result of educations and experiences from HBCUs and the best mainstream colleges and universities not just in America but the world! They have served the highest levels of corporate and government service, and they are charting a future of prosperity for Black Atlanta.
Proven Results
Every academically successful Black child, every stable Black family, every (church, mosque, temple) with better attendance from better members, every Black teen with a father and mother present to enforce curfews rather than the police having to enforce curfews, every Black man gainfully employed instead of loitering and operating at the devil’s amusement, every Black woman adored and loved by her spouse and male family members, is increasing the quality of life for Black people in America vastly more than anything done in current Negro politics. And guess what, nothing just mentioned has anything to do with welfare, affirmative action, DEI, seats at the table, social justice before existential justice, or how White folk feel about us.

Metro Atlanta is the capital of Black Culture & Civilization in the Western Hemisphere!
Do you live in the Metro-Atlanta Region?
Many of the top counties in percentage of Black population in Georgia’s 154 Counties are in metropolitan Atlanta: Cobb (27.3%), Gwinnett (27.9%), Fulton (42.4%), and Dekalb (50%), Clayton (68%)
It turns out that these areas share similar characteristics. 1) They are products of post-Civil Rights era integration, migration, and Blacks becoming a majority in the bureaucratic political culture. 2) This resulted in RAPID, as rapid as MARTA induced White flight. 3) Rapid White flight affected cultural norms, academic norms, political norms, and economic norms to the point that within 10-20 years areas that were once all White, were now nearly all Black, or had a reputation for being so. 4) The resulting changes in perception negatively impacted the perception of economic and lifestyle viability (read safety, home values, and quality of schools), as well as political stability and probity. 5) This is symbolized by infrastructure and other bureaucratic perceptions and realities of decline, economic underdevelopment, as well as breeding grounds for corruption and incompetence. 6) Increasing rates of family dysfunction breed unstable schools, unstable schools cannot engender competitive rates of academic achievement, ergo they become ‘schools’, otherwise known as pipelines to prison, and are breeding grounds for varying levels of antisocial and criminal behavior. 7) The Black church has largely been reduced to irrelevancy as it has followed varying trends of the week, including materialism name it and claim it, aligning itself with the Democrat political establishment to receive Federal spoils, and high positions in the Democrat party. They promote anti-intellectual trends like supernatural healing over diet and exercise healing, and various other anti-biblical lifestyles, instead of setting trends of biblical interpretation and application. 8) The Black family ain’t what it used be. It can no longer absorb the products of 70% out of wedlock births, and absorb the developmentally disabled and homeless at the same time. These broken homes create a seedbed of intergenerational traumas that are hard to heal. 9) Black politicians stand completely dumbfounded before these problems absent blaming them on White folks, institutional racism, or suggesting White people and/or the government are the solution. 10) WE NEED A BLACK BOURGEOIS REVOLUTION!

De-kabb Dekalb County Black Bourgeois Association
It is all well and good that we have earthly security, but the best security is living in a family, community and culture where the ‘fear of God’ is lived and taught. Values that encourage peace, life, and encouragement, let us call them ‘Home Training’. If you do not possess home training, Do not come. ‘It ain’t that type of party’! If you think you might need a knife, gun, etc. Don’t come. NO WEAPONS. If your toes are overly sensitive, don’t come. No one gets shot and the police do not need to be called

DIA – Disabled in Action
While nearly every family is affected by members with varying forms of mental and physical developmental disabilities, including the aged and elderly, oftentimes these ‘least of these’ go under appreciated and underserved by traditional institutions in the Black community, which is hard pressed as it is by widespread poverty, broken families, and lack of organizational competence. Under the leadership of Rev. Calvin ‘Kojo’ Peterson, DIA provides support to families, and caregivers to increase the quality of life for those of us who are not so much ‘disabled’, but ‘differently abled’!

Non-denominational/Interfaith based Family support services and counseling. It is time to transition the Black community from a fear-based attitude that necessitates acting like Mandingos and Amazons is necessary for survival, to strong team building for survival. Transitioning from Amazons and Mandingos to husbands and wives, fathers and mothers. Without stable families, sustainable economic development in our communities, sustainable academic development in our schools, and sustainable cultural development is impossible! Black men and women are a team, not competitors!

Why Choose Us
Communities of Faith Corner
Communities of faith are key to the success of Black Atlanta and the African American community at large. The quality of our economic, political, and cultural activities, as well as our family and community life are only as good as the sincerity of our faith. The majority of African Americans are Christian, Muslim, or some variety of Judaism, and we draw membership from many in metro Atlanta of diverse faith traditions. This is reflected in our ‘Communities of Faith’ corner quarterly. It is important to note that a significant portion of individual mental health and stability, as well as positive family and community engagement stems from relationships fostered, developed and bolstered within religious communities of faith. Many if not most of the greatest African American singers realized their talent in the choirs of their local church. Jessye Norman, grand dame of Wagnerian and German repertoire got her start right in the local Black churches of the Augusta area. Do you want to see your church, mosque, or temple highlighted in communities of faith corner? Become a member and tell us why?
