The National Association of Black and White Men Together, Inc.: A Gay Multiracial Organization for All People (NABWMT) is a network of chapters across the United States focused on LGBTQ and racial equality, founded in May, 1980[1] in San Francisco as a consciousness-raising, multicultural organization and support group for gay men forming multiracial relationships.
[2] To attain these ends, its local chapters organized social gatherings and engaged in educational, cultural, and political activities.
NABWMT got its start in May 1980 when founder Michael Smith placed an advertisement in The Advocate for a potluck that attracted 20 people.
[4] Within a year of its founding, local chapters were established in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington DC, Los Angeles, Memphis, Chicago, Detroit, Atlanta, and Milwaukee.
For example, the Detroit chapter raised funds for and provided direct assistance to the Ruth Ellis Center in 2006.
