The YMCA embraces people of all ages, incomes,
abilities, religious, and ethnic backgrounds. We work to break
barriers of isolation and to create the connections that add meaning
to life.
Participants with a financial need are encouraged
to apply for Y scholarships. The YMCA uses a sliding scale to
evaluate each applicant. Through gifts to the annual Open Doors
Scholarship Campaign, YMCA's throughout the country makes
its services available to thousands in communities every year.
Annually, the YMCA provides in excess of millions of dollars in
scholarships through gifts made by YMCA friends and donors.
Please make a pledge and open the door for someone
who needs what the Y provides. If you would like to apply for an
Open Doors scholarship, please contact your local YMCA branch.

Confederate Soldiers

A Black Man's Apology to Black
Women
Written by Enoch Hagans
Black women we as Black men have let you down and the whole world knows it. We
have let our freedom get away from us and the consequences of our actions have
been tragic. There can be no excuses for our lack of action in taking care of
our responsibilities.
Black men you know what responsibilities I am talking about;
(1) Leaving our women (Mothers, Wives & Girlfriends) to raise our children by
themselves;
(2) Abandoning our children;
(3) Refusal to financially support our sons, daughters and women;
(4) Being an active participant in the criminal justice system i.e. jail, prison
or on probation;
(5) Being ignorant and rude in public;
(6) Not graduating from High School or obtaining a GED;
(7) Abusing our women verbally, mentally and physically;
(8) Using our women for casual sex;
(9) Just being known as the baby’s daddy and no more;
(10) Selling, buying or using drugs that brings down our community;
(11) Living off Mom and using her for financial support;
(12) Blaming everyone for their failures but themselves.
