Being a Black Man

Being a Black Man (washingtonpost.com)

This link is to a series of articles and videos on the topic of African-American males in America.

Generally, it's my feeling that articles addressing the socio-economic aspects of being a black man aren't usually broad enough to reflect the entirety of our experience here in America. Despite the litany of statistics about maladaptive behaviors, there are many black men who know nothing about jails, drugs and crime. There are many who grew up with traditional family structures with fathers in the home. I count myself among that number.

Unlike most articles on this topic, I do believe that this series does offer good balance and is worth a look. Be sure to click on the archives link to read past articles in this series.
