photos by Harry Kemp
Jacqueline Moore: "If we as women would lower our guards and not hold all men responsible for what our fathers have done to us in the past, men would be more receptive to being active in their children’s lives. Ladies, we have to teach our boys how to be men and fathers."

Larry Harmon: "To be more responsible; to be part of the kids’ life because of respect and being a role model."

Angel E.: "Quality time as well as quantity is a very necessary component."
|
Warren Carter: "They need to spend more time with kids. But if you came from a broken home and didn’t have a father, think about all the things you missed out on. Make sure your child doesn’t experience that."
