4. Do you know Eric Adams's back story?

100 Blacks In Law Enforcement That Care (or 100 Blacks) is an American New York City-based advocacy group which focuses on fighting injustices between the African American community and their interactions with the New York City Police Department (NYPD).

This internal relations advocacy group speaks out against police brutality, racial profiling and police misconduct. They are composed of active duty and retired employees from within the department. They also support the black community with financial, educational and legal support.

Based in New York City and founded by two black police officers, Eric Adams and Noel Leader, in 1995, this organization was created to address relations between the NYPD and the ]African American community. The NYPD administration has yet to acknowledge or authorize this group yet as of 2018 it remains active.

In 2013, Adams stepped down as executive director to become the first African American borough president of Brooklyn.
