Statement of Purpose

United AfriKan American Men stands to uplift the plight of all Afrikan Americans. The members of UAAM strive to promote similar ideas: scholarship, unity, and service on and off campus within the Afrikan American community.

This organization will also instill the importance of historical, political, and economic awareness among the Black masses.

Legacy & Vision

The vision of the founders continues today through every chapter, line, and program of UAAM. Each new member is a continuation of the work that began in 1993—educating, uplifting, and empowering Black men to lead with integrity and purpose.
