From the time our children are born, we imagine a bright
future for them: a solid foundation of education and
development in their early years, excellent health care, high
school graduation, a good college education and a career
path that launches them toward lifelong achievement and
economic self-sufficiency. As parents, nothing will stop us
from doing everything within our power to make that happen.
And as Americans, our concern extends beyond our own
doorsteps. We want success for children in rural towns and
urban communities across the nation because we understand
that providing opportunity to all children, regardless of their
race or ethnicity, is essential to America’s future prosperity.
