All
the Earth watches with interest
to see what I shall become
Civilization
hangs in the balance
What I am the world of tomorrow will be
I
am the Black Child
You
have brought me into the world
about which I know nothing
You
hold in your hand my destiny
You
determine whether
I shall succeed or fail
Give
me a world where
I can walk tall and proud
Train
me to love myself and my people
to build and maintain a great nation. Author

For 30 years, the Black Child
Development Institute of Greensboro has been steadfast in its
mission to
improve and protect the lives of children. With countless volunteers,
we have worked to improve child welfare services, make universal
early care and education a reality, build family support services,
press for educational reform and provide vital information
on children's health. As we are now into the new millennium,
it is critical that we continue to dedicate ourselves to giving
every child a chance. We believe that such a vision should
recognize the pivotal role that all members of our community
must play if equity and access are to become a reality for
our children. This includes parents, the faith community, social
and civic clubs, and businesses in the community - all of which
must become part of the mobilization on behalf
of our children.
