“Here’s Our Child, Where’s The Village?” conveys that
every child deserves the opportunity to flourish as happy, thriving and free spirited people regardless of race and the displacement factors governing their lives. The question isn’t “Here’s Our Child, Where’s The Village?” The question is whose village will you be?
~Beverly Black Johnson



“We must bear each others burdens. Though the village has been replaced by concrete
and Roe v. Wade, there remains innocent children deserving of love and a safe haven.
They may be parentless, but they are not Godless…” ~Bruce George, Co-Founder of Def Poetry Jam


"Connecting kids to permanency is paramount.” ~Stacia C. Hammond- Executive Director/Founder
