The 500 Youth-N-Black movement began in March 2003 founded by Pastor Antonio L. Fitzgerald. For a number of years services were held at the New Hope Apostolic Church in Danville VA under the leadership of Bishop Dr. Major L. Hairston. The 500 Youth-N-Black movement is a gathering of young people from all sorts of backgrounds from all over this region, and east coast coming together for one common purpose; to magnify the name of Jesus. Lives are literally transformed at the magnitude of the power that is released when this program takes place! Each year we send out over 500 letters to various churches, organizations and businesses inviting them to be apart of this great, momentous occassion. It is our goal through this vision to impact, empower, and enhance this generation!
