What They See Is What They’ll Be ®
“One great writer has observed,
‘…never in history has a deprived people
gone to those in power and said,
‘Please Teach My Children My History’!”
“African-Americans are part of a rich history that began eons before a
pirated ship landed on the eastern shores of North America in 1619.
Indeed, the foremost archaeological experts alive now put forth evidence
that the unique history dates back to the very birth of civilization.
It is the responsibility of family, community, and culture to teach that
history, and to keep it alive. To emphasize the fact that it is not taught or
deemed important elsewhere is a fruitless venture. To expend the same
energy and zeal in an effort to assure that our children truly know who
they are and from whence they came is evidence of our wisdom.”

Greetings 100 Black Men!
Our 100 Black Men chapters are taking the lead in teaching our mentees about their past through our African-American
History Challenge (AAHC) program. Whether your chapter teaches African American History via the AAHC program
or as a foundational component of your regular mentoring program, we thank you.
100 Black Men of America, Inc. (100 BMOA) implemented the AAHC as an innovative, relevant, and exciting way
for our mentees to learn about the trials and triumphs of their ancestors. Knowledge is indeed power! As our students
learn for themselves, the facts about the roles and contributions of their ancestors, to the building and growth of America,
they will be empowered to reverse the ignorance previously taught and reject any future erroneous teachings. Haven’t
we all come to eventually question our elementary instruction about the discovery of America? When did you first ask
yourself, “How could Columbus discover a land that was already occupied by Native Americans?”
Our 100 Black Men mentors, volunteers, and stakeholders in our chapter network are helping to develop the next
generation of critical and global thinkers. The African-American History Challenge program is just one way our chapters
use friendly competition to promote the love of history and help our youth link the relevancy of that knowledge to the
current trends and events of today. Through this AAHC vehicle, our mentees not only gain knowledge, but they change
their assumptions about racism, slavery, education, equity, and opportunity in the United States.
The great historian and author of “The Mis-Education of the Negro, Carter G. Woodson, is credited for advocating and
promoting the scholarly study of our African-American history for the benefit of our communities. Similarly, our
beloved 100 member, the late Brace B. Godfrey, Jr., is responsible for infusing the study of African-American history
into the programmatic initiatives of 100 Black Men of America, Inc. The AAHC is the brainchild of Brother Godfrey
and his dream of empowering our mentees with the knowledge of their rich history lives today.
As you launch your local AAHC youth programs in preparation for the 2019 Competition in Las Vegas, Nevada,
remember, the ultimate goal is to empower our mentees with relevant knowledge that will impact their lives, their
chapters, their communities, and the world. To that end, please take note of the AAHC Competition requirements:
Chapters are responsible for identifying creative solutions for recognizing program participants/winners at the
local level who are NOT chapter mentees. However, students advancing to compete at the National level MUST BE
CHAPTER MENTEES. Chapters will be required to submit a statement certifying that Competition participants
are indeed 2018-2019 chapter mentees who are/have been a part of the chapter’s annual programs.
Thank you for understanding the need to serve, support, and salute our mentees for their efforts and outcomes in your
chapter’s mentoring programs. Sustained mentoring sets us apart from all other mentoring organizations. Remember,
we “Mentor The 100 Way® Across A Lifetime!”
Sincerely,
Your World Headquarters’ Staff
4INTRODUCTION
The African-American History Challenge (AAHC) is the intellectual property of 100 Black Men of America, Inc. The
program was started in 1995 under the leadership of the late Brace B. Godfrey, Jr., founding Chapter President of 100
Black Men of Metro Baton Rouge, Inc. and a former member of the Board of Directors of 100 Black Men of America,
Inc. The AAHC is an education and scholarship program designed to: 1) enhance and/or ignite the study of African-
American history among youth, and 2) increase their interest in knowing and better understanding the legacy left for
them by our African-American ancestors. Since its inception, the AAHC National Competition has become the
signature youth event of our Annual Conference.
Please carefully read all the information contained in this manual as it will guide your Chapter and its mentees
through the competition process. As you will note on the 2019 program schedule herein, conference calls have been
planned to discuss the AAHC (see page 12). However, should any general questions or concerns arise before or after
those scheduled calls, do not hesitate to contact the World Headquarters of 100 Black Men of America, Inc.
I. 2019 AAHC COMPETITION BOOK
The authority for the 2019 AAHC Competition is the new history book by Henry Louis Gates, Jr. titled, 100 Amazing
Facts About the Negro.
“With élan and erudition—and with winning enthusiasm—Henry Louis Gates, Jr. gives us a corrective yet loving
homage to Joel Augustus Rogers’s work. Relying on the latest scholarship, Gates leads us on a romp through African,
diasporic, and African-American history in question-and-answer format.”
Book: 100 Amazing Facts About the Negro | Publisher: Pantheon (October 24, 2017) | ISBN-10: 0307908712 |
ISBN-13: 978-0307908711| Book Venues: Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, Hudson Booksellers,
IndieBound, Powell’s, Target, Walmart, and Penguin Random House
Chapters are strongly encouraged to place orders for the AAHC Competition book as soon as possible to ensure
participants have sufficient time to study during their local competitions. World Headquarters will provide all 2019
participating chapters with three (3) copies of the book.
II. 2019 AAHC OVERVIEW
In June 2019, 100 Black Men of America, Inc. will host the African American History Challenge National
Competition. The Preliminary Rounds will occur on Thursday, June 13th during the 33rd Annual Conference in Las
Vegas, Nevada. The Championship Competition will be held on Friday, June 14th during the 33rd Annual Conference
in conjunction with the State Farm Dollars and $ense Youth Competition. Both competitions will be merged into one
main Championship Competition.
Each team in the National Competition will compete in one of the two divisions as established. Each team will
comprise of two students. An alternate student, selected by the chapter in the event of an illness or any other
emergency, may replace either student. Each team will be allowed to have coaches and/or other assistants; however,
all coaching and other assistance must be given outside of and away from any room in which competition is taking
place. Coaches, assistants, and players must keep the competition room and areas free of all books and materials
associated with preparation for the competition.
5OVERVIEW (continued)
The National Competition begins with a series of elimination rounds designed to provide two finalists teams in each
division. Each elimination round will be announced to the participating chapters and will be held at a designated time
against a specified competing chapter. Only one chapter will proceed in the African American History Challenge
Competition after an elimination round. The team that does not win will have completed its participation in the National
Competition.
During the elimination rounds, each team will be paired for a first-round challenge. Subsequent elimination rounds will
continue until two teams in each division remains. For any round including, the opening round, where an odd number
of entries exist, the AAHC Committee Chair, Mr. Alvin Cavalier, and Co-Chair, Mr. James Miller, will determine
the pairing of entries and the granting of byes.
In the midst of our Annual Conference, it will be essential that chapters’ contestants and officials follow the instructions
and directives to the letter. Time will be of the essence and all failures not attributable to the management of the AAHC
Competition will result in the forfeiture of the offending party. It is advisable, but not mandatory, that each chapter
considers including an alternate team member, in case of an emergency. The ruling of forfeiture shall remain at the
sole discretion of the AAHC Committee Chair and Co-Chair, with the guidance and oversight of the Education
Committee Co-Chairs, Dr. Floyd Rose and Dr. Joseph Silver. No appeal whatsoever shall be heard with regards
to a decision of the AAHC Committee once the Education Committee Co-Chairs have rendered an opinion.
During the two-week period prior to the Annual Conference, the official chapter representatives of each entry team will
be informed of the day and time of the orientation session. Any entry team that misses the orientation session will be
allowed to compete; however, the session will not be repeated, and the entry team will be held responsible for all
information provided or discussed. If at the end of the elimination round, exact information on succeeding rounds is not
available, the advancing team will be instructed to consult the AAHC Committee Chair and Co-Chair for updated
information.
The orientation session shall be held prior to the start of the Preliminary Rounds, and the actual AAHC Competition
shall begin immediately following the orientation session, unless otherwise noted. It is essential that participating 100
Black Men chapters arrange to have their entry teams at the Annual Conference venue and prepared to compete
on the first day of the 33rd Annual Conference. During the Preliminary Rounds, the two (2) participating students
and the one (1) alternate student will only be allowed in the competition room. No other student will be permitted
to attend the Preliminary Rounds. All non-competing chapter mentees must attend all Conference Youth
Workshops!!! Parents, coaches, and chapter members can attend the Preliminary Rounds with their
participating students.
Cheating is strictly prohibited in the African-American History Challenge competition! Any team that is caught
cheating or playing unfairly in any manner shall be immediately dismissed from the competition, and its sponsoring
chapter shall not be allowed to send a team in either division to the next year’s National Competition. Biography sheets
on each player, along with a valid picture/student ID, must be provided to the competition officials upon entry
into the competition room (see page 14). This regulation will be strictly enforced!
III. CHAPTER CONTEST AND CHAMPIONSHIP
Each eligible and approved 100 Black Men chapter may enter one team in each division for participation in their local
competition. In order for a team to be qualified for the National Competition, the chapter must provide the proper notices
to World Headquarters within the established and required deadlines. Although World Headquarters does not control
local competitions or procedures for determining local champions, in order for a chapter’s team to qualify for the
National Competition, its mentees must have prevailed in some process or competition at the local level that involves
the demonstration of knowledge of African-American history. Your World Headquarters’ staff strongly advises that
each chapter actually conducts a local competition that includes the oral recitation of responses. However, if a chapter
chooses to conduct a written competitive examination, its qualified youth team will be accepted for the National
Competition.
6CHAPTER CONTEST AND COMPETITION (continued)
Many chapters have used and will continue to use commercial board games designed to test their students’ knowledge
of African-American history. This remains an acceptable method of determining a qualified 100 Black Men chapter
team for the National Competition.
Chapters are encouraged to urge students to read the book that serves as the authority for the National Competition (see
page 6). However, each chapter is free to design its own team preparation method. Much of the information involved in
the AAHC Competition is available from other sources. Please note; however, that the acceptance of a correct response
to a question is at the sole discretion of the competition officials, and the authorized book for the National Competition
will be used to settle any disputes or challenges.
IV. THE NATIONAL COMPETITION
A. GENERAL INFORMATION
1. The African-American History Challenge is a national program of 100 Black Men of America Inc. The only
means of entry into the competition is through one of the approved and qualified local chapters of 100 BMOA.
2. Students who are selected to participate in the National Youth Competition of 100 Black Men of America, Inc.
MUST be chapter mentees.
3. Each chapter of the organization is authorized to act independently in conceiving and designing the system,
procedure, or contest by which the chapter determines which of its CHAPTER MENTEES will represent the
team for National Competition (see page 4).
4. The National Competition is under the strict and exclusive control of the National body through the AAHC Chair
and Co-Chair.
5. All chapters should ensure their local students are aware of all requirements and guidelines regarding the
representation of only our chapter mentees on the National Competition teams.
6. Chapters should also ensure mentee representatives, chaperones, guests, etc. are aware of the values and mission
of 100 Black Men of America, Inc. prior to the Annual Conference and uphold the organization’s values and
mission during the Conference.
B. COMPETITION FORMAT AND DIVISIONS
1. The African-American History Challenge consists of two divisions of competition:
• The Junior Division includes teams of two students who have not yet entered the 9th grade.
• The Senior Division includes teams of two students who are in grades 9-12, but whose graduation from
high school shall not be earlier than January of the year of the applicable competition.
2. Each 100 Black Men Chapter will be allowed only one team per division and one additional student per team
to serve only as an alternate in case one of the competing students cannot participate due to unforeseen
circumstances. Team representatives and alternates MUST be chapter mentees.
7C. COMPETITION RULES OF ENGAGEMENT
Chapters are responsible for identifying creative solutions for recognizing program participants/winners at the local
level who are NOT Chapter mentees. However, students advancing to compete at that National level MUST BE
CHAPTER MENTEES. Chapters will be required to submit a statement certifying that competition participants are
indeed 2018-2019 chapter mentees who are or have been a part of the chapter’s annual program(s).
Thank you for understanding the need to serve, support, and salute our mentees for their efforts and outcomes in your
chapter’s mentoring programs. Sustained mentoring sets us apart from all other mentoring organizations. Remember,
we “Mentor The 100 Way® Across A Lifetime!”
1. Eligibility – Students who have participated in the African American History Challenge
competitions in previous years cannot participate in the same division again if they have
previously advanced from Round One (1) of the Preliminary Rounds; except for student
alternates who did not actually compete before. Students who did not advance from Round
One (1) of the Preliminary Rounds can compete again.
2. Method of play – The competition will begin with a set of preliminary-round questions to assist
teams in engaging the answering device, as well as to familiarize the teams with the types of
questions to be asked.
¨ During the preliminary round, each correct answer will be worth five points, with no deduction
of points for an incorrect response. After the preliminary round, each correct response will be
worth five (5) points as explained herein, with a deduction of one (1) point for an incorrect
response.
¨ Each team member will have access to a device that will indicate to AAHC Competition Chair
that the team desires to answer the question. The AAHC Competition Chair will recognize the
first team to engage the device.
¨ Each team will have five (5) seconds to provide a satisfactory answer to any questions posed
during the rounds. The correctness of the responses shall be at the sole judgment and discretion
of the AAHC Competition Chair, with no appeal.
¨ If a team indicates its desire to answer a question before the AAHC Competition Chair finishes
a question in its entirety, the Competition Chair will cease reading the question at that point,
and the team must provide a response within the time allotted.
¨ A team will receive a total of five (5) points for a correct answer in the regulation round of
play. In tie-breaker rounds, one (1) point shall be awarded for a correct response.
¨ Except in the first round, if the first team attempting to answer provides an incorrect answer,
or no answer is given within the time allotted, one (1) point will be deducted. (A team’s total
can be a negative number as a result.) The other team will then have five (5) seconds to provide
an answer, if the opportunity is desired. The team in that situation will be penalized one (1)
point for an incorrect answer but will not be penalized if no answer is attempted.
¨ Whether an answer given by any team is deemed acceptable, will be at the sole discretion of
the AAHC Competition Chair and Co-Chair at the time the answer is given. There will be no
appeal beyond the ruling of the competition officials at the time the answer is given.
8D. DETERMINATION OF WINNERS
¨ There will be one (1) round of play in addition to the preliminary round in the elimination
phase. Each round will consist of a predetermined set of questions and will begin by the oral
presentation of a question to both teams. The competition official will indicate the beginning
and end of each round of questions.
¨ Each elimination contest will proceed until the conclusion of the presentation of questions.
¨ The declaration that a game has been completed shall remain at the sole discretion of the
AAHC Competition Chair and Co-Chair. When they indicate that all questions have been
presented, or that the time has elapsed, the game will then be declared complete.
¨ At the time of completion of an elimination round, the team with the highest number of points
will be declared eligible to move on past the elimination round, and the competition for the
other team will have ended.
¨ If at the time the game is declared completed and the score is tied, the teams will be presented
a question as a tie-breaker in the same manner as the main competition. This process will
continue until one team presents a correct answer. The team will then be declared the winner
of the AAHC Competition. During the tie-breaker process, there will be no deduction for an
incorrect response.
E. THE CHAMPIONSHIP COMPETITION
The Championship Competition of each division will take place as part of the agenda of the Annual
Conference. The World Headquarters’ Event Team shall establish the exact time, date, and place, in
conjunction with the Programs Department. Only the two teams that have survived the elimination rounds
in each division will participate in the Championship Competition; however, all participants of the
Preliminary Rounds will be acknowledged for their participation during the Championship Competition.
The Championship Competition will last no longer than 45 minutes for each division. Regardless, the end
of the competition on the basis of time or the completion of the questions shall be determined at the sole
discretion of the AAHC Competition Chair. The format of the questions and the requirements of the answer
will be the same as in the elimination rounds. Only the length of the game will change. Of course, the fact
that the contestants will perform before the convention audience in the Championship Competition will be
different, and the AAHC Competition Chair will give due consideration to this fact in administering the
game.
F. ROLE OF PROGRAMS/COMMITTEE
The World Headquarters’ Events Team and designated representatives responsible for the development
and execution of each Annual Conference of 100 Black Men of America, Inc. are ultimately responsible
for assuring the proper placement of the AAHC Competition on the conference agenda and assuring access
to necessary equipment and facilities for the Preliminary Rounds and Championship Competition. This
effort of course will be closely coordinated with the World Headquarters’ staff in charge of the AAHC
Competition.
The Programs Department and AAHC Committee Chair and Co-Chair should assure that at least six
reliable, adult volunteers are secured specifically for this competition. These volunteers shall be persons
particularly interested in the competition, and shall include educators, if at all possible.
9G. AWARDS
The tradition of “The 100 Cup” in the Senior Division was established during the 1995 Annual Conference
when the team representing 100 Black Men of New Jersey, Inc. was victorious. Up until 2016, the reigning
Championship chapter would proudly display “The 100 Cup” until it was surrendered to the Competition
Chair at the succeeding conference venue. It was then taken home by the new Senior Division chapter
champions.
Likewise, the tradition of “The Hayling Cup,” named for the first National President of the 100 Black Men
of America, Inc., Dr. William Hayling, began in 1996. The chapter with the victorious Junior Division
team claimed this award. The Madison, Wisconsin Chapter was the first winner of this cup. Up until 2016,
the reigning Championship chapter would also proudly display the “Hayling Cup” until it was surrendered
to the Competition Chair at the succeeding conference venue. It was then taken home by the new Junior
Division chapter champions.
At the 2016 National Competition, the reigning Championship chapters surrendered “The 100 Cup” and
“The Hayling Cup” over to the AAHC Competition Chair and received a 2015 African American History
Challenge Junior Division trophy and a Senior Division trophy to take home permanently. The 2016
Champions also received a Junior Division trophy and a Senior Division trophy to keep.
To date, the Championship chapters will receive a Junior Division trophy and Senior Division trophy to
permanently display. The competitors will also receive various versions of “The 100 Medallion.” The
ultimate victors will receive “The V (for victory) Medallion.” All finalists will receive “The 100
Knowledge Medallion,” and all competitors will receive “The 100 Academic Medal” for their participation
in the National Competition.
At the National Competition, each mentee competitor will receive additional awards. The awards will be
based upon the level of sponsor funding.
H. QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS
Any questions or concerns regarding procedures occurring during the National Competition or the
determination of winners should be submitted in writing via email to Dr. Rose, Dr. Silver, Mr. Cavalier,
Mr. Miller, and Programs Departmental staff.
The inquiry will be reviewed by the appropriate leaders to determine an appropriate response, if warranted.
If necessary, the CEO and/or Chairman of the Board may be consulted prior to responding to the inquiry.
No response will be given to verbal questions, concerns, or complaints. Concerns submitted in
writing will be reviewed and the final decision will be communicated directly to the chapter’s
President or his designee.
