It is the author's hope and prayer that this book will assist in encouraging the Black community and support White communities better understanding African American Males. The author is a firm believer that from a mentally and physically strong man, a mentally strong family can be developed; a strong church can be developed; a strong community, state, and nation can be formed. We must stop being passive as parents and step up to our responsibilities. This book is a prelude in creating strong productive black communities, starting with Black Boys.
