National Black Child Development Institute (NBCDI)

Today marks the beginning of National Black Child Development Week 2026 — and NBCDI Elder Michael W. is speaking directly to our community.

In the wake of the Supreme Court's April 29th ruling in Louisiana v. Callais, which dealt another blow to the Voting Rights Act, Elder Michael W. reminds us that our Council of Elders is paying attention — and that the protection and affirmation of Black children cannot wait.

Our children are rooted in this land. The evidence is in our hands. And NBCDI will not rest until that truth is reflected in policy and practice, in every place a Black child grows.

Join us May 18–22 as we Dream Forward and Act Now.
