African Americans have played important roles in the development of the United States; the recognition of their roles in growth and development from a historical perspective is an important step in celebrating the contributions of individuals and the collective changes the African American community has brought about.
"Our Social Principles state that we believe the family to be the basic human community through which persons are nurtured and sustained in mutual love, responsibility, respect and fidelity (¶161B).2016 Book of Resolutions, #3061, page 168: Families of all types in the United States are vulnerable to social and economic change. Black families today face myriad challenges within their geographical communities. We called upon local churches to develop programs of mentoring, counseling, conflict resolution or strategies to strengthen Black family life germane to the community in which it resides."
