The Black History of National PTA

During the civil rights era National PTA made a statement to the world: segregation is wrong. Leading by example, the National Congress of Parents and Teachers merged with the National Congress of Colored Parents and Teachers to form what we now know as National PTA. In honor of Black History Month, National PTA Radio’s James Martinez digs deeper into how this milestone of a merger created the world’s largest child advocacy organization that truly speaks for every child with one voice and how the merger spoke volumes about the association’s three founders, including Selena Sloan Butler.
