Dear Board Members:
Every February our nation celebrates Black History Month. In 1915 Dr. Carter G.
Woodson organized the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History in
Chicago, Illinois. He believed that the Negro had a significant past and made
important contributions to the mainstream of our society. Now, in 1996, another
milestone in the life of our country has been reached as we recognize the 81st
anniversary of Black History Month.
This year The African American Community Entrustment is focusing on
strengthening our families as a theme for Black History Month. Join us in
bringing to the forefront millions of grandmothers from all over the country who,
by their extraordinary efforts, have strengthened their families or communities, and
in doing so have greatly contributed to black history over the years. The African
American Community Entrustment and The United Way of the Bay Area
invites you and other Bay Area leaders to join us in declaring February 8,
1996 as "Grandmother Awareness Day".
We would like all of you to acknowledge this day by letting your grandmothers
know how they are appreciated for the time, love and wisdom that they share with
us in these dangerous, and difficult days. 'We hope you'll celebrate the
grandmother's gift for caring and strengthening our families with us on February 8,
1996.
Sincerely,
Eleanor Williams-Curry
President, African American Community Entrustment
Core Supporter The United Way
