The voice of black conservatives
Its significance for our times
Kendall Qualls is Founder and President of TakeCharge, a non-profit organization dedicated to the development of a back-to-basics movement in black society that seeks to rebuild a functional black culture and restore hope and pride. He recently published an article, “A Movement for Revival and Restoration,” in Journal of Free Black Thought.
“A Movement for Revival and Restoration” begins by noting that March 2025 marks the sixtieth anniversary of the controversial Moynihan Report on The Negro Family, which maintained that high non-marital birth rates among black Americans—24% in 1965—were contributing to the development of a matriarchal society that weakened the role of black men. It cautioned that social welfare programs were eroding family structures and undermining the exercise of responsibility by men as husbands and fathers.
