Not that I know of but I would guess that there could be a similar group in Philly or Baltimore if not New York.
What I would do if I were you is(actually I've already did this to a lessor extent) ...look up societies of African peoples ranging from
- Hunter gatherer societies
- Pastoral societies
- Agricultural societies
- Market based societies
- Colonial/slave "societies"(for lack of a better term)
- Post industrial societies
- information age societies
- What are the ancestors in this society responsible for?
- What are the adults in this society responsible for?
- What are the elders in this society responsible for?
- What are the youth in this society responsible for?
- What are the females in this society responsible for?
- What are the males in this society responsible for?
- What are the "organized female groups" in this society responsible for?
- What are the "organized male groups" in this society responsible for?

Asafo is an in-depth Afrikan centered discussion of the requirements of Afrikan manhood. In it, the author clearly lays out our sources of power and the tools that must be acquired, mastered and used if we are to reclaim our correct role as warrior scholars in the battle to provide safe, sacred and empowering spaces for our families and communities. It gives specific consciousness raising guidelines for our nation building effort, weeding out those compromising ideas and forces which have kept us confused over whether we want to be powerful or just influential in this world. This book is a very important tool in Afrikan men’s efforts to help ReAfrikanize our people. As the table of contents indicate, there is a strong emphasis on building functional educational institutions, developing a dynamic sense of group-consciousness through elevating one’s self-consciousness, male rites of passage programs and a warrior’s mental preparation. In addition, we are taken through the difficult process of growing from being merely other-directed, apathetic individual consumers to powerful, mission-directed men in thought, word and deed. Asafo closes with an extensive collection of revolutionary quotes that specifically work to define, direct and heal every Afrikan man’s warrior scholar spirit.

Take note of the social organization within those societies with the specific questions being....
- Hunter gatherer societies
- Pastoral societies
- Agricultural societies
- Market based societies
- Colonial/slave "societies"(for lack of a better term)
- Post industrial societies
- information age societies
It's important to understand that the point isn't to copy what you read. The point of reading this info is similar to going to the grocery story and stocking up on food. What you ultimately use will depend on what & who you need to cook for. Your historical culture is your "raw ingredients". What you "cook up" is dependent on the needs relevant to the environment you find yourself in today.(I assume you are not currently herding cattle around the grasslands)
