The mission of the Law and Policy Group, Inc. is to analyze laws and policies which primarily affect the lives of children, women, and people of color. This group’s findings are disseminated on their web-site, through community outreach programs, policy papers, theater and film, informational seminars, and the media.
The Law and Policy Group, Inc.’s first annual Report on the Status of Black Women and Girls® provides a detailed overview of the state of an important, and often undervalued, demographic in America – Black females. The report is unique in that it covers areas that affect all Black women: Health, Employment, Housing, Education, Criminal Justice/Incarceration, Family Status, Spiritual Beliefs, Politics, Welfare, Military, and Consumer Habits. A national report on Black women and girls is a much needed instrument for research, advocacy, and action.
Black women and girls have been a very positive benefit to this country, no matter what anyone else may say or think. Black women and girls should be recognized for all they have contributed to this nation.
It is not very often such a report comes along that addresses the issues of black women and girls, without relegating them to the margins of invisibility, or third-class citizenship in research papers of documentation. Fifteen dollars plus shipping and handling is a small fee to pay for such a much needed report.

The Law and Policy Group, Inc.’s Report on the Status of Black Women and Girls® is the first ongoing report on the state of Black females in America. The Law and Policy Group has long believed that Black women and girls hold a valued place within both the Black community and the larger society.
This Report responds to a long awaited need to present the Black female as a whole person with achievements and challenges enabling agencies, individuals, and the media to better understand the progress and pressures of Black women and girls. It provides data on the complex world of Black women and girls from infant to elder in areas of health, education, religious beliefs, employment/income, family status, political participation, and criminal justice.
The Report on the Status of Black Women and Girls® is comprised of data from government, foundation, and commercial sources. The Report’s primary goal is to provide information on a demographic vital to America’s past, present, and future. In 1619, one year prior to the landing of the Mayflower, twenty Africans, including two women, arrived in the Jamestown Colony in Virginia.[1] Today, Black females number nearly 20 million and are active in every aspect of American life. ‘Women hold up half the sky.’ In the Black community, women hold up much, much more.
