The National Black Child Development Institute (NBCDI) celebrated its 50th anniversary the week of May 11 to 15.
In a recent interview with the Black Voice News NBCDI President and CEO Tobeka G. Green outlined the many topics the institute covered during its annual gathering such as food, security, homeschooling, support for families, educators, mental health and wellness.
Due to the novel Coronavirus the National Black Child Development Institute has gone fully digital.
“Instead of talking about food and security as an issue, we identified ways the Black church or churches are responding to food and security and are working to alleviate this in many communities,” Green said.
During the week, NBCDI also focused on the Black Economy by providing answers for the PayCheck Protection Program (PPP), and Coronavirus Aid, and Economic Security Act (CARES) to the families and supporters that attended.
