    This organization was founded in February 1983 under the name The Youngstown Association of Black and White Men Together, joining the more than twenty BWMT chapters that constituted the National Association of Black and White Men Together.  In the words of BWMT founder Mike Smith, this name was "chosen to make a bold and public statement."
    A growing sensitivity to the diversity of local communities has led many chapters to adjust their names to reflect their evolving responses to the marginalization and fragmentation of minority groups.  Men of All Colors Together and People of All Colors Together are the most common new designations; the National Association and many local chapters retain the original name, BWMT.
