Founded December 1999, BGCS™ is the premiere organization of Black Germans, post WWII Afro-Germans (known as Brown Babies & Mischlingskinder) & their descendants, primarily living in the U.S. BGCS™ serves as resource & networking organization as well as a forum to facilitate awareness, discussions & reflection of important issues that impact the lives of people of color of German descent. The mission of the society is to develop a community for Black Germans living in the United States of America and abroad in order to create a forum for their cultural heritage.

The purpose of the society is to bring together Black Germans to establish and foster relationships to discuss and carry out research on basic issues and questions of their cultural heritage that include:

• how we want to identify ourselves as Black Germans, individually and as a group within German and American communities,
• how we can educate others and expose them to the Black German community and culture,
• how we can strengthen our Black German community and continue to build upon relationships with the African American community and other groups who are working to eradicate racism and improve opportunities for all people of color.
