Why do children want to grow up? Because they experience their lives as constrained by immaturity and perceive adulthood as a condition of greater freedom and opportunity. But what is there today, in America, that very poor and very rich adolescents want to do but cannot do? Not much: they can "do" drugs, "have" sex, "make" babies, and "get" money (from their parents, crime, or the State). For such adolescents, adulthood becomes synonymous with responsibility rather than liberty. Is it any surprise that they remain adolescents? ~Thomas Szasz

Greetings Coalition Family!Progress or Change
In World War II, among other discriminatory acts, the Tuskegee Airmen were denied access to battle because no white commander would lead them into the fray. This says two very blatant things, one, the pervasive feelings of racism were deep in the military, and that in addition there was a non advance policy for black soldiers. Eventually they were allowed into battle, and distinguished themselves to such a degree; they were the preferred escorts of many bomber fleets. When they returned to the states, they were discriminated against even more, just as all of our people who risked everything in defense of this country’s interests, and in at least one recorded case murdered out of fear for what they had learned in battle. Progress?
In the late 50’s the landmark Brown vs. the Board of Education was won in the high courts, now our children are able to be indoctrinated by the descendents of slave-owners in just about any institution we choose, Historically Black Colleges and Universities are closing and our best youth are helping build the status of institutions who still view them as inferior, progress?
In the ‘60’s many black folk staged sit-ins in order to be able to eat at the same lunch counters as whites, they were successful, now our children can give their money to any other ethnic group they choose, progress?
The demise of many black institutions was the result of ‘integration’. Segregation forced our people to create and support institutions and businesses of our own. Many of our dollars were earned and spent within our communities. Some of the greatest economic achievements occurred as the result of our response to segregationist policies, policies we still haven’t defeated, though we have sacrificed our economic strengths. The great Harlem Renaissance, Black Wall Street and many thriving towns and communities came about as a result of segregation. The price for token integration was the sacrifice of our own thriving institutions, sports franchises, colleges, clubs, communities, financial institutions, restaurants, stores et al. We actually fought to take our money out of our communities by the barrelsful into white businesses and communities. Prosperity of established white businesses/institutions boomed, while once strong entities such as the Negro sports leagues and the HBCU’s lost talent and funding. Our people could not wait to run to white businesses, waving fists full of dollars... progress?
Also, since the ‘60’s, miscegenation laws have been either overturned or ignored, allowing us to intermarry with the sons and daughters of those who used to take our women by force, creating a color caste system among our own based on skin tone, progress?
Imagine if you will, all our talented young black men and women attending HBCU’s, and competing on the world stage with any and all comers. Think of the funding these institutions would attract, think of the quality of staff these institutions would attract, think of the billions of dollars in endorsements these institutions would attract. Think of segregated sports teams competing in the same arenas. All black college teams and all black professionals competing against the best Caucasian teams. It wouldn’t be long before some of those white universities would have to close their doors.
Imagine a level playing field in science, education and business. The reason white America kept things separate was because they feared the abilities of those they wanted the world to think were inferior.
Integration should never have been our goal, equal rights was, and always has been the issue. Equal rights will never be attained until this country recognizes us as legitimate citizens.
And in spite of all the roadblocks placed in our paths, we continued to excel at whatever opportunity we managed to get. Wherever there was a crack, we created egress.
Consider these few offerings... Tuskegee Airmen; George W. Carver; Buffalo Soldiers; Estevanico; Bill Pickett; Phillip Emeagwali; Elijah McCoy; Benjamin Banneker; Daniel Hale Williams; Martin King, Jr.; Malcolm X; Noble Drew Ali; Paul Robeson; Richard Pryor; Barak Obama; John Johnson; Russell Simmons; Berry Gordy, Jr.; Oprah Winfrey; Lionel Hampton; Duke Ellington; Miles Davis; Scott Joplin; J. A. Rogers; Langston Hughes; Phyllis Wheatley; Maya Angelou; Harriet Tubman; Mary McLeod Bethune; Gwendolyn Brooks; Stevie Wonder; John Coltrane; Will Smith; Dorie Miller; Matthew Henson; Osceola; Katherine Dunham; Ella Fitzgerald and so we won’t have to be here long enough to have need a change of clothes, I’ll simply say... Sports, Sports, Sports. Baseball, Basketball, Football, Soccer, Boxing, Tennis, Golf; pool, Track and field, Fencing, and as soon as they open the door to Hockey...
My point... blind leaders of the past negotiated to give up our power in order to sit next to someone who did not wish to sit next to us and have a meal prepared and served by someone who did not wish us to eat in their establishment. Now I ask you, is it not insane to force someone who hates you to prepare your plate? Why force someone to take your money and build their own communities while your falls into ruins?
We will make true progress only when we learn to love ourselves, support our own and desire to instill our children with values and morals not based on the principles imbued by the oppressive colonialist political system.
It is time we realize that no one is going to help us but ourselves, and if we don’t come together it will all fall apart. Benjamin Franklin once said of the American Revolution: “We must all hang together, for if we don’t, we will surely hang separately.”
We each hold a piece to the puzzle.” – Dr. John Elliott Churchville “Communicate… Cooperate… Collaborate” FOR OUR CHILDREN“It is easier to build children than it is to repair men.”…Frederick Douglass
There are almost 150,000 Latinos in Philadelphia with almost 50% having children. This beautifully diverse population of Puerto Ricans, Mexicans, Dominicans and Latin Americans bring so much culture, ingenuity and grace to our city. Many are recent immigrants and like many of our forefathers, can be a little lost in this large cuidad. On the www.cap4kids.org/philadelphia website, under the Immigration/Refugee handout (http://cap4kids.org/philadelphia/parent-handouts/immigration-refugee-services/latino-resources/) you will find a subcategory of resources for Latino families (as well as a separate subcatogy for Asian families).
Please also remember that this and all content on CAP4Kids can be translated into almost any language using the flags at the bottom of each page. Thanks. ----- Coalition members! Activate ‘Your’ web link on The Coalition, Inc. web site -----

2013 Bill Gates Scholars Program Giving Away 1,000 Scholarships to
Minority Students
Nationwide (BlackNews.com) -- In recognition of Black History Month,
Nationwide Insurance is encouraging consumers to get on line to share, build and capture important family history in celebration of the rich heritage and legacy of the African American family. In addition, consumers can visit Pandora.com to build a personalized music library and support the
United Negro College Fund (UNCF).
Every year, the Gates Millennium Scholars (GMS) Program selects 1,000
talented minority students to receive a good-through-graduation scholarship to use at any college or university of their choice. The program provides scholars with personal and professional development through our leadership programs along with academic support throughout their college career.
Administered by the United Negro College Fund, the program was initially funded by a $1 billion grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Since 1999, it has funded the education of more than 16,000 students, awarding them more than $614 million dollars to pay for tuition, fees, books and housing.
The program aims to reduce financial barriers for African American,
American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian Pacific Islander American and Hispanic American students with high academic and leadership promise who have significant financial need; increase the representation of these target groups in the disciplines of computer science, education, engineering, library science, mathematics, public health and the sciences, where these groups are severely underrepresented; develop a diversified cadre of future leaders for America by facilitating successful completion of bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees; and provide seamless support from undergraduate through doctoral programs, for students selected as Gates Millennium Scholars entering target disciplines
The deadline for submission is January 16, 2013.

SpotLight On Our Efforts
Thanksgiving Dinner Drive
The Holiday Season is just around the corner and many families like those which we support at ACHIEVEability struggle to provide traditional Thanksgiving meals and Holiday gifts for their children. While ACHIEVEability can help offset some of their costs of living, our families are responsible to pay for expenses such as rent, utilities, food and childcare. Money is often scarce for essentials and can be especially difficult to manage during this time of year. This is where your support comes in.
Thanksgiving Dinner Drive
At ACHIEVEability, we want our families to have the best Thanksgiving possible. To help, we provide everything a family needs to celebrate the Holiday together. Here is how you can help:
Sponsor one or more ACHIEVEability families by providing an entire Thanksgiving dinner including: turkey, canned vegetables, gravy, stuffing, etc.
Organize a donation drive for non-perishable items (canned and boxed food) and gift certificates and gift cards
Donate money or gift cards or gift certificates to help purchase food
If you are interested in assisting with the Thanksgiving Dinner Drive please contact ACHIEVEability Events Manager Brian Hoskins at brian.hoskins@achieveability.org or 215-748-8814.
All donated Thanksgiving items need to be picked up or delivered by Monday, November 19, 2012.

Philadelphia Area Research Community Coalition
Stable, large organizations are thought to be most capable of sustaining community-based research coalitions. However, small grass roots organizations may offer unique opportunities to engage in CBPR.
Objectives
To describe the process and lessons learned establishing the Philadelphia Area Research Community Coalition (PARCC), a heterogeneous group of organizations including large and small grass roots community organizations.
Methods
Over two years, PARCC successfully established an academic community research partnership of 22 diverse organizations of variable size and with variable experience in health research. PARCC's success is based upon committed leadership of representatives of the community-based organizations, a preexisting relationship and trust among selected members from the community and academia, extensive time commitment of members to the coalition's work, and the rapid development of work group activities that gave all members a meaningful role in the coalition.
Results and Lessons Learned
Since its inception 2.5 years ago, PARCC members have established core work groups, a governance structure and operating principles. During the early stages, while the coalition is developing trust, structure, and governance procedures, and research priorities, it can actively participate in community based research as long as the trust building and capacity building is not ignored. Accomplishments include research training activities, community health education projects, and collaboration in research originating in the community and in academia.
Conclusions
Building a CBPR coalition from the ground up involving organizations of diverse size presents unique challenges that can be overcome with committed leadership and appropriate startup funding.
Learning Objectives:
• Describe the process
of starting, establishing and maintaining a coalition with grass
root organizations who are interested in participating in CBPR •
Identify the key challenges, successes and lessons learned of
developing a partnership in this manner • Discuss how the
coalition’s structure and governance evolved

A HAND UP!
"None of us has gotten where we are solely by pulling ourselves up from our own bootstraps. We got here because somebody bent down and helped us." - Thurgood Marshall
America’s Original Savings Network
As amazing as it may sound many people do not realize how easy it is
to LEGALLY stop paying for their groceries! This is how the one hour
television show began for the company whose website is at:
A: All of our coupons are actual manufacturer coupons. Fewer and fewer retailers accept coupons that are printed from your computer because of a huge increase in counterfeit coupons. Actual manufacturer coupons which we issue are accepted everywhere that coupons are accepted.
Q: Can these coupons be doubled?
A: Yes. These are
manufacturer issued coupons and may be doubled in any store that
offers double coupons.
Q: What are the face values and the expiration dates
of these coupons?
A: Being manufacturer coupons, the
manufacturer determines the face values of the coupons. We
currently stock coupons ranging in value from 40 cents to 5.00
dollars. The coupon expiration dates are generally valid for 90
days.
Q: How can I use $1,000.00 worth of coupons in 90
days?
A: With our program, you get to choose the coupons you
want, when you want them. This way you never have to worry about
the coupons expiring.
Q: How do I choose the coupons I want?
A: Each
coupon book contains coupon request slips which you fill out and
send in. Those coupons are then mailed to you.
