"About Our Children..." is about the future of all of America's children and their shot at truly achieving the American dream. This program will challenge us individually and collectively to talk openly and honestly about what ails our children and then act on what we already know can be done to help our great nation's children achieve their dreams.
- Michelle D. Bernard
