I Love You Black Man Woman and Child
This program will initiate the dialogue of trust, peaceful and safe living in Black communities. Blacks must feel they are all working through the same struggles for a productive journey in life. The I Love You Black, Man, Woman and Child Project in partnership with Jewish allies will work in partnership with faith-based leaders of all denominations and the private sector. The BMFSL Foundation staff and our partners will venture to specific neighborhoods in the Black community, embracing and communicating with all aspects of that constituency. Palm cards will be distributed to the Black community about what is needed for our community to begin the process of healing, working together and loving oneself and each other.
We will encourage local neighborhood Black residents to adopt the concepts of information on the palm cards to their daily rituals in the community. Here are a few examples; say something nice or give a compliment to three Black people who they don’t know daily. Adopt and support a senior citizen in the community. Help neighbors shovel snow. Support a Black child and assist that child with their educational needs. The list goes on and on as a guide for Black Community Love. As we conduct these monthly sessions in communities across Boston, the numbers will grow after each community invasion. We will collect vital data for research and membership purposes. This will be our first opportunity to reach out to the community to begin the thought process of civic engagement. In other words, creating a buzz. We will initially bring our new civil rights movement to the community at a grass roots level, engaging individuals in our community back to the basics. This will lead to our second
initiative:
