I Am Your Child campaign stresses early parenting roles
The piece notes emphasis on prenatal and infant care, parent education for teens, and extensive support from schools. It cites Aiken County figures: 35,820 under age 18 in 1994, with 24,700 white and 11,120 black or other races, reflecting a shrinking share of the population since 1960. Endorsed materials include AT&T funded booklets, a Newsweek edition, IBM funded CD-ROM, and campaign debates over government influence.
