What Our Alumni Have To Say
“The Black Diamonds has taught me what teenage boys need to learn in order to become men of character. It's also taught me the value of brotherhood, to always support my brothers no matter what. BDAS has encouraged me to become a knowledgeable person. Since joining the organization, my grades were better than my first two years in high school, which significantly improved my GPA.”
— Tarique Cummings, Morgan State University
“The Black Diamonds is an organization that promotes unity between its members, it teaches us to walk our paths with the end goal in mind. I have never seen a tighter support group in my school than what I had experienced with the Black Diamonds. Although I was a rather new member to the group, I was welcomed with open arms and I am still grateful and honored to have been apart of all the various forms of involvement they have partook in. I am currently a Biological Science major in college and this organization has my utmost support.”
— Jarrett Lloyd, University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC)
