Thank you for visiting the site for the Association of African American Single Mothers. This organization exists to educate,
empower and encourage African Americans in an effort begin to end the stereotypes and perceptions of Black People in
America. African American's have played a vital part in making America the wealthy nation it became to be. The realities of
Slavery and its aftermath may be difficult for some to accept but It is important that all races understand this history.
Although our name may give an impression that we tailor our services to only one race of people, our policy is and always
has been one that includes all people regardless of race or religion. All of our services are made available to all those
seeking our services regardless of race or religion. Poverty has no racial preference, it affects all people and as such, we
reach out to all people.
Your comments and concerns are very important to us. Feel free to send your comments to Director, Stacey F. Johnson at
director@aaasm.org.

As a 44 year old African American I am constantly confused as to why as the oldest minority in
America, we are the worst off of all the races. It simply makes no sense to me. I have tried for many
years now as the leader of this organization to bring that to the attention of many African
Americans, from those around the corner from me to those across the country and I sense a
disinterest in stepping up and doing anything that will invoke real change. As long
as we look like we are doing something on paper so we can push through the next grant, the
Government questions nothing and we continue to rob our children and our community.
I see our biggest problems as a race of people as the following:
Lack of interest in education
Lack of interest in addressing the disparities experienced by Black men and boys in this country
Lack of interest in developing an entrepreneur spirit among African American's as individuals and
especially in children
Education and money are the true cures for racism. With education, money follows. CNN and the
Southern Poverty Law Center report that since the election of President Barack Obama there has
been an increase of over 100 new hate groups. Has there been an equal increase in the number of
groups established to fight ignorance. For no other race of people do I feel this is most important
than my own.
As my oldest son graduated from high school and we discussed how proud I was, he stated..."Mom, I
knew I had to get it done, If there is nothing else you have ever told me, it was how important it was
I finish high school and then college. Even if I was mad at you, I knew what I had to do, and I did
it,"
What have you been telling your son?
