League of Black Parents Meeting, Saturday, May 9, 2009, 10:15 a.m. at 3509 South King Drive, Chicago, Illinois
Dear Prospective League of Black Parent Member:
Across the United States, the educational, social and economic outcomes for most Black children are a catastrophe! In the new global educational and economic order, many, if not most, Black American children cannot compete.
The principles that guide the League of Black Parents include:
Black parents are responsible for the education and well-being of Black children.
Black parents must organize and work together to educate and save their children.
Black parents must invest as much time in educating their children as they invest in their jobs, personal entertainment and social lives.
Black parents must connect to community resources to assist in raising their children.
Black parents must create their own Individual Education Plans for their children.
Black parents must meet for 90 minutes a month on issues concerning their children (preferably at a League of Black Parents Meeting).
Black Parents must work with schools, faith-based institutions and community-based organizations to properly educate their children.

Our actions, or inactions, will determine the future of our race. Please join Black parents across America who know that if we are not organized, our children will not be recognized. If we do not speak up, Black children will have no voice. Black parents must advocate as well as educate. We must take responsibility for the education of our children.
By joining the League of Black Parents, you will also join our community-based Black Star PTA chapter so that we can take advantage of existing resources. Our next next monthly meeting of the League of Black Parents in Chicago on Saturday, May 9, 2009, at 3509 South King Drive, Suite 2B, at 10:15 am.
Annual membership for the League of Black Parents is $50.00. Everyone is invited to join. Please contact 773.285.9600 or blackstar1000@ameritech.net for more information or to become a member of the League of Black Parents. Membership is open to parents, educators, clergy, community members and students of all races, ethnicities and faith backgrounds.
We want to start chapters on the south side, the north side and the west side of Chicago as well as in western suburbs, southern suburbs and northern suburbs. We also want to start chapters in other cities. Thank you for being in the vanguard of educating and saving Black children.
