The Association of Black Psychologists (ABPsi) was founded on September 2, 1968, during times of turbulence, turmoil, and unrest in this country. This article chronicles the formation, development, and progress of the ABPsi over the past 40 years. The initial thrust of the ABPsi in its originating years was to denounce racism and the American Psychological Association and build Black pride through organizing its own autonomous, professional association. The ABPsi grew to develop into an organization which is committed to meeting the needs of its professional membership, as well as addressing the mental health and social concerns of a larger African American community. Appended to this article is a list of ABPsi's presidents over its 40 years.
