 PHILADELPHIA, PA (USA) – 2 September 2012 -- Democratic Councilman The Honorable Curtis Jones, Jr, who represents the City of Philadelphia’s Fourth District will host a press conference on Wednesday, 5 September 2012 beginning at 11:00 A.M. in City Council Caucus Room 401 in City Hall for the National Million Father March. The press conference will be convened by Mr. David Fattah of the House of Umoja, Inc. who is the Coordinator of the 2012 National Million Father March for the City of Philadelphia. Under the leadership of the House of Umoja, Inc., the City of Philadelphia will be one of 800 cities throughout the United States participating in the 2012 National Million Father March. In the City of Philadelphia, on Friday, 7 September 2012 and Monday, 10 September 2012, Fathers are being asked, among other things, to escort their child to school. The City of Philadelphia’s participation in the 2012 National Million Father March on Monday, 10 September 2012 will be punctuated with an address given by William R. Hite, Jr., Ed.D., the School District of Philadelphia’s new Superintendent. Dr. Hite will discuss his vision for the School District of Philadelphia and the children it will educate during the 2012-2013 academic year.

 “We are asking every Father throughout the City of Philadelphia to escort their child to school on Friday, 7 September 2012 and Monday, 10 September 2012; to meet their child’s teachers and principals and obtain a copy of their child’s roster and the school’s Academic Calendar of Events. We want Fathers to become very proactive in their child’s education by, among other things, maintaining a dominant presence in the schools throughout the 2012-2013 academic year. We want to inspire our children. Failure in school for our children is not an option! The general goal of the National Million Father March is to improve the quality of education throughout the United States. In the City of Philadelphia, there are approximately 291 public schools and 55 charter schools and approximately 210,432 children are enrolled in schools throughout the School District of Philadelphia. Let’s rethink how we can improve the quality of education for our children and adequately prepare them to successfully compete in a global marketplace when they become adults; lower the school dropout rate; and motivate our children to excel academically. There was a time when schools and our neighborhoods and communities worked together as partners to educate our children. We need to rebuild these partnerships. Let’s renew our commitment to our children – our future – our bridge to the future. The National Million Father March is the vehicle that will help us get the job done. Philadelphia, it’s time to rethink, rebuild, and renew!” remarked Mr. Fattah.

 When reached for comment about the importance of the National Million Father March, Queen Mother Falaka Fattah, the Founder of the House of Umoja, Inc. offered the following: “Our children are the heart and soul of our neighborhoods, our city, and our world – our global village. When our children are doing well, our neighborhoods, our city – and our global village also does well. Our neighborhoods, our city, and our world – our global village -- suffer when we do not set and enforce rising expectations for our children and when we allow our children to do less than their best and drop out of school. The education of our children – our heart and soul – is everybody’s business. The National Million Father March in the City of Philadelphia is not only energizing our school system, it is rekindling community spirit by bringing together key stakeholders – parents, religious institutions, businesses, educators, school administrators, legislators, law enforcement professionals, health care professionals and providers, social services professionals and providers, grassroots community organizations, and social entrepreneurs – all of whom have key ‘pieces of the puzzle’ to lowering the school drop out rate and moving our children – our heart and soul – to excel academically and to ‘do more, be more, and want more.’ ”

 The National Million Father March is the brainchild of Mr. Philip Jackson who is the Founder and Executive Director of The Black Star Project, a Chicago, Illinois-based organization.

HEART AND SOUL

There are approximately 2.2 billion children who live and play in the global village we know as Planet Earth. We are connected to each of them. And they are connected to us. They are our children – the heart and soul of our global village. Their melodious laughter, incessant inquisitive banter, and irrepressible enthusiasm is infectious and inspiring. We feel their joy. The village – our global village – would be a desolate place without them. Can you imagine living in a world devoid of laughter, joy, and irrepressible enthusiasm?

Yet, we allow approximately 1 billion children in our global village to live in poverty. We allow 640 million children in our global village to live without adequate shelter. We allow 400 million children in our global village to live without access to safe water. We allow 270 million children to be denied access to health services. And every year, death silences the melodious laughter, incessant inquisitive banter, and irrepressible enthusiasm of approximately 1.4 million children – our babies -- because they do not have access to safe drinking water and adequate sanitation in our global village. How will living in poverty and not having access to adequate shelter, safe drinking water, and adequate sanitation shape these children’s perception of the world outside of their immediate environment and their place in it? Will they see a world that offers unlimited opportunities? Will growing up in abject poverty without access to adequate shelter, safe drinking water, and adequate sanitation shatter the souls and break the spirits of these children – our babies – and the global village’s Next Generation of Husbands, Wives, Mothers, Fathers, and Leaders?

Then there is the issue of the education of our children – the heart and soul of our global village. The number of children throughout our global village who are not attending school is shocking and tragic. At least 67 million primary school-age children are not attending school. Approximately 45% of these “out of school” children live in sub-Saharan Africa and approximately 24% of “out of school” children live in South and West Asia. Forty percent of “out of school” children in South and West Asia were previously enrolled in school but dropped out of school at some point. In Arab states, “out of school” children number approximately 5.8 million; 2.2 million “out of school” children exist in North America and Western Europe; Central and Eastern Europe estimates that its “out of school” children number 1.1 million; East Asia and the Pacific has approximately 8.3 million “out of school” children; and approximately 2.8 million “out of school” children can be found in Latin America and the Caribbean. It is estimated that at least 72,000,000 children of lower secondary school age are “out of school” and approximately 10,000,000 children in sub-Saharan Africa drop out of primary school each year.  

The village suffers when its children – its heart and soul – are allowed to languish in poverty, live without adequate shelter, safe drinking water, health services, sanitation, and not attend school or drop out of school We must rethink how we can provide access to economic opportunities to the parents of the children in our global village who are impoverished. We must build and adequately maintain sewage treatment plants that will pump out unhealthy and deadly waste materials and water treatment plants that pump in water that is safe to drink, cook with, and bathe in throughout our global village. It is imperative that we create accessible and affordable health resources and support services. We must look at why so many of our children – the village’s heart and soul – are not going to school or are dropping out of school. 

Let’s resolve the issues that prevent our children from attending school and staying in school. Let’s rethink how we are educating our children. Are we providing them with the skills they will need to become productive and successful adults in a global marketplace that is driven by information technology? 

Now, take a minute to think about yourself. When you were born, you were the heart and soul of the village. When the adults of the village gazed into your probing and sparkling eyes, they saw hope and the promise of a new day. You were loved. You were nurtured. You were valued. But what if your entire journey from childhood to adulthood had been spent living in poverty, without adequate food and shelter, and no access to safe drinking water, health services, and adequate sanitation. Would you have matured into a purpose-driven, productive, and successful adult? Would you go through life being angry or happy? Would you have a sense of direction or would you spend your life wandering around aimlessly?  Would you be a vibrant, trusting, forgiving, and loving person? Or would you mature into an emotionally and spiritually detached adult? Would you be an asset or a liability to the village? Would you even exist?!

Shouldn’t our children – the village’s heart and soul – experience the same intense caring, nurturing, and mentoring that you enjoyed during your journey from childhood to adulthood? Don’t they deserve to feel protected, loved, and valued?

CONNECTED

We are a village – a global village. Approximately 7.019 billion people live in the global village we know as Planet Earth. And you and I are connected to each of the 7.019 billion people who live, work, and play in the global village we know as Planet Earth. We speak different languages, observe different customs and traditions, and worship differently, and yet, we are connected. What connects us? Destiny . . . love . . . faith . . . an innate need for affirmation . . . our strengths, frailties, thoughts, and deeds. Families, schools, mosques, synagogues, churches, temples, legislatures, financial institutions, neighborhoods, health care facilities, police and fire departments, business corridors, and social services institutions are vital components of the village to which we are connected. We are connected to the homeless men, women, and children who languish on the streets of our cities with outstretched and soiled hands that seek food . . . a few dollars . . . compassion. We are connected to the boys and young adolescent males – Our Sons and the Next Generation of Husbands, Fathers, and Leaders -- who are indiscriminately misdiagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder, prescribed psychotropic medications such as Ritalin, characterized as “unteachable” or “behavioral problems”, warehoused in Special Education classes in our public schools, and placed on the “fast track” to prison. We are connected to the Elders in the village who deserve and need our love, respect, and protection. Their sacrifices have provided you, me, and generations unborn with the freedom to dream dreams and the tools to transform our dreams into entities that the world will see, feel, hear, and touch. There is power in being connected. Being connected creates balance, heals broken spirits and shattered souls, restores order where chaos once reigned, builds trust, and transforms despair into hope. Being connected moves us to think in terms of “we” and not “me.” We ask ourselves: “Will my actions weaken or strengthen my community – the village where I live and work? Who will benefit from my actions? Who will be hurt by my actions? What are my options?” Being connected helps us make better decisions. Our children are the heart and soul of the village. Being connected moves us to rethink how we are raising the village’s heart and soul. There is a direct connection between the manner in which we raise the heart and soul of the village and the village’s future. To rebuild the village and transform it into a vibrant, peaceful, nurturing, and self-sustaining oasis, we must teach our children – the village’s heart and soul – and our bridge to the future, through our deeds and words – to respect human life and the rights and property of others. We must teach them, through our words and deeds, that wisdom comes from all places, and love in its purest form is unconditional. We must show them how to transform negative energy into positive energy; peacefully resolve conflicts; and constructively deal with anger, pain, fear, disappointment, and rejection. If we fail to do any of these things because we don’t understand or refuse to understand that we are all connected to each other, chaos and a vacuum in leadership will ensue and the village will eventually self-destruct. Is that what we want? Men and Women are connected to each other. We must put an end to the “Gender Wars” that create confusion and dissension. At the same time, we must eradicate the plethora of mixed signals that Men receive from segments of society and mainstream media about masculinity, their roles and responsibilities inside and outside of the home, and the rules of engagement for courtship and marriage. When it comes to Men, many of us have it all wrong. Men are not emotionless automatons. They experience joy and pain. They laugh. They cry. Betrayal and rejection are devastating to a man. Men are human just like women. So, why wouldn’t Men have a range of emotions? For the sake of our children and the survival of the village, Men and Women must seek common ground and work together as full partners to nurture, love, and mentor the village’s heart and soul – our children – our bridge to the future.

D-A-D ACROSTIC DICTUMS: DON MATHIS

D-A-D Acrostic Dictums

 An acrostic is generally a poem or phrase in which the first letters spell out a word. It’s Fathers’ Day! How many of these old sayings apply to you? How many apply to your dad?  Acrostics were created by Don Mathis; axioms were written by children and fathers across history.

Duel All Day

Raising kids is part joy and part guerrilla warfare. – Ed Asner

Father! - to God himself we cannot give a holier name. – William Wordsworth

Debts Are Destroyed

Henry James once defined life as that predicament which precedes death, and certainly nobody owes you a debt of honor or gratitude for getting him into that predicament.  But a child does owe his father a debt, if Dad, having gotten him into this peck of trouble, takes off his coat and buckles down to the job of showing his son how best to crash through it. – Clarence Budington Kelland

Much better to think it over. Then, if you eventually say no, I think they really accept it. – Prince Philip

Daughters Are Different

There's something like a line of gold thread running through a man's words when he talks to his daughter, and gradually over the years it gets to be long enough for you to pick up in your hands and weave into a cloth that feels like love itself. – John Gregory Brown

Fathers, like mothers, are not born. Men grow into fathers - and fathering is a very important stage in their development. – David M. Gottesman

Destiny And Design

If you think about it seriously, all the questions about the soul and the immortality of the soul and paradise and hell are at bottom only a way of seeing this very simple fact: that every action of ours is passed on to others according to its value, of good or evil, it passes from father to son, from one generation to the next, in a perpetual movement. – Antonio Gramsci

Dearer After Death

My father died many years ago, and yet when something special happens to me, I talk to him secretly not really knowing whether he hears, but it makes me feel better to half believe it. – Natasha Josefowitz

Devoted About Daughters

The father of a daughter is nothing but a high-class hostage. A father turns a stony face to his sons, berates them, shakes his antlers, paws the ground, snorts, runs them off into the underbrush, but when his daughter puts her arm over his shoulder and says, 'Daddy, I need to ask you something,' he is a pat of butter in a hot frying pan. – Garrison Keillor

Demonstrations Always Deliver

My father didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it. – Clarence Budington Kelland

Deep And Discerning

A wise son maketh a glad father. – Proverbs 10:1

Dowers Are Desirable

Sometimes the poorest man leaves his children the richest inheritance. – Ruth E. Renkel

Duty And Dedication

Father taught us that opportunity and responsibility go hand in hand. I think we all act on that principle; on the basic human impulse that makes a man want to make the best of what's in him and what's been given him. – Laurence Rockefeller

Devoted And Despised

That is the thankless position of the father in the family - the provider for all, and the enemy of all. – J. August Strindberg

Difference At Distance

For thousands of years, father and son have stretched wistful hands across the canyon of time, each eager to help the other to his side, but neither quite able to desert the loyalties of his contemporaries. The relationship is always changing and hence always fragile; nothing endures except the sense of difference. – Alan Valentine

Duel Across Decades

By the time a man realizes that maybe his father was right, he usually has a son who thinks he's wrong. – Charles Wadsworth
