How can we continue to improve the outlook for African American children in need of loving families?
I think Homes for Black Children’s success was due to our anchoring in the African American community and our awareness of the African American community. We filled a void and a need. There’s a real difference between what you will hear people who work in African American agencies say and what people who work in other agencies say. That’s why I have often advocated a linkage between traditional agencies and African American agencies as the quickest way to make a difference. There are yet many challenges that African American families and children must confront and overcome. But the broader community must not ignore black families’ strength, determination, and capacity to care for African American children.
