In this episode we will explore the life and times of the black man in America. It is important that we understand what the black man is up against and what the needs are for the black man. This episode will be broken up into 2 parts. In this 1st part we will cover some of the obstacles the black man faces, the role of the father and the mother in the life of the black man, as well as what defines a real man. My hope is that through making plain the needs of black men, collectively we will be better able to meet those needs to begin unifying and strengthening the black community.
