🗣️ Empowering the Next Generation of Leaders

Language and effective communication are the ultimate keys to resolving the world’s problems. This exclusive, 2-day intensive workshop is a “pay it forward” investment designed to structure our youth to move beyond traditional arguments and conflicts.

Through expert instruction, our young men will learn to:

  • Favor facts over emotions.

  • Prioritize right over wrong.

  • Lead by actions, not just words.

Course Focus:

Extemporaneous speaking, professional argument structuring, and critical thinking. This is a rare, premium exposure opportunity for our youth to build foundational leadership skills, master self-governance, and step outside the box.

Pay It Forward

Our fingerprints on the
lives we touch never fade.

Dr. Virginia Allen 

Black Angels

The Campaign for Action is pleased to recognize Black History Month with this powerful story about Black nurses recruited in the late 1920s to care for patients with active tuberculosis (TB), a painful and debilitating contagious disease that killed 5.6 million U.S. residents between 1900 and 1950.
The year was 1947, and the invitation to leave her childhood home in Detroit came from an admired aunt who worked as a nurse in New York City. Few teenagers pack up, leave their families, and head to a distant city to take a dangerous job, but Virginia Allen did just that. Though only 16 years old, Allen set out on a journey that would involve her in one of the 20th century’s major medical breakthroughs.

Allen is one of the last living Black Angels—a name patients gave the Black nurses recruited to staff Staten Island’s Sea View Hospital at the end of the 1920s. They cared for patients with active tuberculosis (TB), a painful and debilitating contagious disease that killed 5.6 million U.S. residents between 1900 and 1950. In New York City alone, the disease killed 10,000 people annually before the city opened a sanatorium on Staten Island, where, in those days, TB patients would find sunlight, fresh air, and plenty of rest—the standard treatment for the disease at the time.
