Mission
A Black Child Can _______. was founded on the premise that Black children can do and be anything they want, if the adults in their lives give them the right tools and remove the barriers to their success.
We empower children by supporting the adults in their lives to advocate on their behalf. Our primary goal is to achieve equitable outcomes and expanded opportunities for Black children. We believe Black lives matter is not a political statement, but one of humanity. For us, humanity is always the bottom line, and we are committed to improving Black children's quality of life through research and policy, community education, and youth programming.
A Black Child Can grow up to rule the world!
