Fatherhood

national awareness campaign that honors African-American fathers. Entitled "A
Celebration of Black Fathers," the initiative showcases vibrant images of fathers
and their children in television, radio, cinema and print media. The collection of
creative concepts and images will echo the theme, "Every Day is Father's Day in
the Eyes of a Child."

Celebration of Black Fatherhood," and uses photography from her book for the
print and television advertising. The fatherhood images from Carol's book
represents men from all walks of life including, film star Samuel L. Jackson. Each
photo provides an inspirational perspective on the relationship between black
men and their children.
The campaign will be unveiled at a media event and public exhibit of the work on
