I wish it read like this:

La Leche League International and the Section on Breastfeeding of the
American Academy of Pediatrics and the African American Breastfeeding
Alliance, Inc., as well as many other experts on breastfeeding, stand ready
to assist you in your efforts to promote,protect and support breastfeeding
and the use of human milk.

AABA is doing a lot of work with this situation and is doing a lot of work
in the breastfeeding world period. If you are a lactation professional of
"color" please get involved in some way. 

I just started a yahoo group - Breastfeeding support and advocacy for "women
of color" called mochamilk. Not to exclude anyone, but to bring together
those of us scattered across the US and the globe that have a passion for
raising breastfeeding rates among brown skinned people. As we all know,
there aren't many black,brown, etc lactation professionals. I hope mochamilk
along with AABA, peer counseling programs and other efforts will change that. 

thanks,
micky
