As president of the National Urban League, Hugh B. Price established the Campaign for African-American Achievement, a program to advance American children's academic success. He shares the program's philosophy in Achievement Matters: Getting Your Child the Best Education Possible. Advising parents to ""encourage children to read anything, from baseball cards to comic books,"" to ""take your youngsters on field trips and to work"" and to ""make sure [your child's] school knows that you are actively involved in your child's education,"" Price lays out a plan for parents to inspire their children to achieve.
