Dr. Deborah K. Green is President of the Black Child Development Institute (BCDI) – Houston, the local affiliate of the national organization, National Black Child Development Institute. In speaking with the Houston Sun, Dr. Green wrote, “With our discussion this morning about, " it takes a village," to obtain wraparound support for Black Families, it brought to mind what I usually say when advocating for children and parental rights for schools. "Without parents, there are no children. Without children, there are no schools. Without schools, there are no jobs for teachers and staff. "Therefore, each and everyone is an essential piece and an integral part of the success equation for educational attainment and excellence for Black children!" Also, "No decisions for us ....without us!".
