Parity Inc. is a community-based non-profit organization dedicated to improving and strengthening the educational, economic, and social opportunities for African Americans in Montgomery County, Ohio.  Its mission is: “Advocating self-sufficiency and collaboration with community partners to teach, train, and serve the African American community.”  The organization grew out of a series of community meetings beginning in 1989 that brought leaders together to discuss how to address the need to achieve social and economic equality for the county's minority citizens  as we approached the 21st century.
