Black children deserve healthy, happy lives

“Black families finally have a place to come to get services, to take care of their basic needs, to take care of any particular crisis that happens within our community.”

“These are organizations that understand the immediate needs in the surrounding communities. The way BCLC has been structured has been a big part of the success.”

“A typical day with Black Legacy is truly just working with our families. Some people would call them customers, or even clients. But to us, they’re family.”

“BCLC has demonstrated pathways to inclusive economic development through direct investments into Black communities that positively influence the welfare not only of children but also of entire family units.”

“Of all the important causes to fight for, I cannot think of ones more important than those of the Black Child Legacy Campaign. This work is essential, urgent, and sacred, and we are centuries late in addressing it.”

“The Black Child Legacy Campaign’s community-driven efforts and collective impact model are examples of what should be coming next and what the future holds for Black communities across the United States.”
