Tommy Dortch is not the founder of the 100 Black Men of America, Inc. He is the most notable chairman emeritus, for under his guidance, the organization expanded immensely. See www.100bmoa.org for more info. However, it is correct for Mr. Dortch to be listed as a notable alumnus, for he is a prominent and well-known figure in both the business and political arenas. He is most known for having served under Sam Nunn, and was the youngest state director for the Georgia Democratic Party. 70.137.135.236 (talk) 08:30, 22 February 2008 (UTC)PH

Do you have a reliable source for this information? If so the entry can be changed. Absolon S. Kent (talk) 10:40, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
Yes, simply go directly to the 100 Black Men entry, or go to the website at 100blackmen.org and look under the link About Us. You will see the organization started in 1963, when Mr. Dortch was only 12, in NYC, and Mr. Dortch is born and raised in Georgia. The founding members are listed as David Dinkins, Robert Mangum, Dr. William Hayling, Nathaniel Goldston III, Livingston Wingate, Andrew Hatcher, and Jackie Robinson. Mr. Dortch was elected national chairman in 1994. ~~ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.101.37.21 (talk) 23:10, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
