Child Trends’ second annual Juneteenth webinar featured five panelists with extensive experience building protective communities for Black children and families. Panelists—who represented Philadelphia’s REBUILD initiative, the Credible Messenger Mentoring Movement, the Association of Maternal and Child Health Programs, the Florence Aliese Advancement Network, and the Coalition of Schools Educating Boys of Color—drew on their decades of leadership, practice, and research to respond to our conversation’s two anchoring questions: “What is your vision for protective communities for children and families, broadly, and why is it important for us to focus on creating these conditions for Black children and families, specifically?” And, “What are key barriers to achieving this vision and how are you addressing them?”
