The Dr. Martin Luther
King Jr., Coalition-Hawaii
"I have a dream that the National Congress of Parents and Teachers will be the greatest organization on Earth and that all children will be sheltered by its objectives. Unless we can look into the face of a little child and say, "I Believe that child is capable of something better than what he is doing now," there is no hope for the child and in his ability to work out a safe democracy for the future. I believe the Parent-Teacher Association makes possible a cooperation of all patriotic people. I believe that such cooperation is coming. I believe that I can help make it come. That is my dream." - Clara Gay, outgoing president of the National Congress of Colored Parents and Teachers, at the unification ceremony of the National Congress of Colored Parents and Teachers with the National Congress of Parents and Teachers on June 22, 1970 |
"Now our finest hour has come. It is here. It is now...At long last we have overcome the barriers and surmounted the obstacles that kept us apart. We have overcome, and we have come together to become one. From the indissoluble union created at this hour will come a great infusion of strength and aspiration, a great renewal of purpose and dedication and commitment. This single National PTA established at this hour, here and now, will be a new entity imbued with newborn vigor and powered with fresh creativity...Our challenge now is to move above and beyond our separate, divisive experiences and build a shared experience, the experience of working together not as black persons and white persons but as human beings--human beings intent on building a society that cares deeply for all its children, whoever and wherever they are." - Pearl Price, president of the National Congress of Parents and Teachers at the unification ceremony of the National Congress of Colored Parents and Teachers with the National Congress of Parents and Teachers on June 22, 1970. |
