Please don’t spend more of our hard earned money on items that center around statues , museums, exhibits, art, trinkets, e.g. Please use the money for encouraging the vital work of the family. Our society has become lackadaisical about the importance of parent involvement, responsibility, and accountability to help their children succeed and thrive. This is nonpartisan and does not discriminate on race, sex, religion, ethnicity or economic status. “The mother is the first teacher of the child. The message she gives that child, that child gives to the world.” -Malcolm X believe in recognizing every human being as a human being--neither white, black, brown, or red; and when you are dealing with humanity as a family there's no question of integration or intermarriage. It's just one human being marrying another human being or one human being living around and with another human being.-Malcolm X "The family is the corner stone of our society. More than any other force it shapes the attitude, the hopes, the ambitions, and the values of the child. And when the family collapses it is the children that are usually damaged. When it happens on a massive scale the community itself is crippled." -Lyndon B. Johnson "It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men." -Frederick Douglass “If you succumb to the temptation of using violence in the struggle, unborn generations will be the recipients of a long and desolate night of bitterness, and your chief legacy to the future will be an endless reign of meaningless chaos.”- Martin Luther King, Jr.
