Sorry to rain on your parade, but wouldn't independence really be acquiring one's own school supplies? Parents who can't afford supplies either aren't working hard enough or shouldn't have offspring that they can't afford.

Sistah's Of Independence Social Club? Would this be an organization promoting one race over another?

I thought part of the idea behind the push for education was to help do away with slang.

Why not focus on the positive this club brings to this community. Finally Hinesville has a newspaper that offers the opportunity to voice positive communication amongst everyone no matter the race. Unfortnately, there are some who happen to be less fortunate than others and need a little assistance from those who care enough to give from their hearts. The present economical disasters in Washington and Wall Street have trickled down to affect everyone.
