What is PTA, PTA is the largest child advocacy organization with over 7 million members in the National PTA and with nearly 220,000 members in the Maryland PTA, whose sole purpose is the education and welfare of all children at home, in our schools and communities nationwide.
History of PTA Alice McLellan Birney and Phoebe Apperson Hearst founded
an organization—a nationwide movement—in a time when social activism was scorned,
and women did not have the vote. They knew there is no stronger bond than that between
mother and child. Therefore, they felt it was up to mothers of this country to eliminate
the threats that endangered children. They called for action in 1897 and more than
2,000 people responded—many were mothers, but fathers, teachers, laborers, and legislators
responded, all with a commitment to our children. From that first meeting in Washington
DC, grew a groundswell of support. Problems were identified and strategies were devised
to resolve them. Through consistent hard work, sometimes after years of perseverance,
the dreams became reality: the creation of kindergarten classes, child labor laws,
a public health service, hot lunch programs, a juvenile justice system, and a mandatory
immunization program accepted as national norms. Between 1897 and 1919, 37 state-
