What: The Black Star Project's 4th Annual Million Father March Parade celebrates the role of fathers in the educational and social developmental lives of their children. The community is encouraged to attend the parade, cheer for this father/hero and share resources with the family to help support them at this difficult time. Why: Recently, the federally-funded Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia, released a report saying that Black fathers were as involved or more involved with their children as fathers of other races. Mr. Frank Jackson is the best representation of this fact. Even while being without a permanent residence, Mr. Jackson has fought and struggle to provide for his family, to support his children and to keep his family together during a time of immense pressure on his family. His heroic actions are a model for all of America and the world!
