national black family day came about in may 1987 when william gray iii, congressman from pennsylvania, spoke with conviction when he entered a tribute to jjoa into the congressional record on may 5, 1987 as the organization embarked upon a black family day of celebration. activities were to focus on the needs of children worldwide with special attention to the needs of children in africa through our partnership with africare. over time we have broadened our scope to focus on aspects of family and the cultural heritage of families for african americans. activities are planned around the family. activities should promote the solidarity of the family by with events such as: family dinners, family worship, family communication, workshops, community service to children without families or support non-traditional families such as foster care homes, workshops on the need for black adoptions etc. many chapters made their city governments aware of their projects and that resulted in many chapters receiving proclamations from their city or county government. congressmen had the chapters placed in their state records for their efforts to support and strengthen black families in their areas.
