Floyd and Charles Hendricks took a jaunt from the west coast to the east coast, stopping in every major city trying to locate black firefighters.

Our Founders stepped out on faith to take a stand for social justice. We remain in the forefront of action as we voice our needs and come together to face deleterious conditions that exist in the fire service and local communities. The I.A.B.P.F.F. celebrate and recognize our Founders, who had the courage and vision to “speak truth to power” over the many decades. We “kept the fire burning for justice” to quote founding president David J. Floyd.
