Are you sure you didn't make that one up!

When I was at primary school we were constantly being told about the plight of the "black babies" and how hundreds of them where starving to death every day. On a Friday we were supposed to "bring a penny for the black babies". I grew to fear hunger and I still do.
I've never really questioned it much until now, but why after all these years, and more, are black babies still dying in their hundreds every day?
