The Center for New Black Leadership (CNBL),
Alpha Phi Alpha National Fraternity Inc. (APA), and the National Executive
Directors Association of the Opportunities Industrialization Centers of
America, Inc. (OICA) in partnership with Health and Human Services, and (ACF)
convened a historical roundtable discussion on the African American
Healthy Marriage Initiative.
This historic conversation was based on research, which
demonstrates the strong correlation between family structure and child
well-being. All things being equal, children growing up in a healthy,
married two-parent family will do better on a host of outcomes than their
peers who do not. Further, many social problems affecting children,
families and communities could be prevented if more children grew up in
healthy married families.
The African American Healthy Marriage Initiative desires
to have more children realizing the benefits of growing up in a healthy,
married two-parent family.
