JUNE 15, 2008; WE KNOW THAT MORE THAN HALF OF ALL BLACK CHILDREN LIVE IN SINGLE-PARENT HOUSEHOLDS, A NUMBER THAT HAS DOUBLED — DOUBLED — SINCE WE WERE CHILDREN. WE KNOW THE STATISTICS — THAT CHILDREN WHO GROW UP WITHOUT A FATHER ARE FIVE TIMES MORE LIKELY TO LIVE IN POVERTY AND COMMIT CRIME; NINE TIMES MORE LIKELY TO DROP OUT OF SCHOOLS AND 20 TIMES MORE LIKELY TO END UP IN PRISON.
