The current day narratives of Black Men are often scary, discouraging, and often non-existent in terms of their added value to American culture. However, these are narratives carried outside of the true authors themselves. Listen, share, and celebrate in the ongoing series of personal stories of Black Men who defied the odds. Let them talk and discuss their rights of passage, in the hopes that it will give you a new perspective in their real lives.
