Black Americans for Life (BAL) will join with the National Black Catholic Apostolate for Life in proclaiming June Abortion Awareness Month in the Black Community.

This marks the second year that these two national groups have joined

together to help the African American Community better understand the realities and tragedy of abortion. Since abortion was legalized by the U.S. Supreme Court in January 1973, almost 14 million black babies have been killed by abortion. The abortion rate for black women is three times that of white women.

This year's activities will feature two prominent religious leaders from the African American Community.

Pastor Clenard Howard Childress, Jr.

Pastor Childress is a Baptist pastor from Montclair, New Jersey. He has preached on a wide variety of African American radio stations across America and has presented talks to various local, state, and national organizations. His web site www.blackgenocide.org has been visited by tens of thousands.

Called the "Urban Prophet" by many, Pastor Childress's message is an inspiration to the African American Community.
