"Our foundation should rest on civic service rather than social extravagance."
On November 20, 1930, in the heart of Miami, Florida, ten visionary young college men came together to establish what would become one of the oldest African American civic organizations in South Florida. At a time when many organizations focused on social status and prestige, these founders chose a different path—one dedicated to civic service, educational advancement, and community uplift.
These ten pioneers established The King of Clubs of Greater Miami, Inc. with a simple yet powerful belief: that their organization's foundation should rest on civic service rather than social extravagance. This principle has guided our Miami scholarship organization for over nine decades and continues to inspire our minority scholarship programs and leadership development initiatives today.
As a historic Black organization in Miami, we proudly celebrate our African American heritage while welcoming all who share our commitment to educational excellence, leadership development, and community service in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties. Our doors are open to students and members from all backgrounds who believe in the transformative power of education.
The principles that have guided our Miami civic organization for 94 years and continue to shape our impact in South Florida today.
We believe education is the cornerstone of personal and community advancement. Our scholarship program for minorities has invested over $250,000 in college scholarships for Black students in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties.
