Advice for parents, educators, community, and church members is provided in this guide for ensuring that African American boys grow up to be strong, committed, and responsible African American men. This book answers such questions as Why are there more black boys in remedial and special education classes than girls? Why are more girls on the honor roll? When do African American boys see a positive black male role model? Is the future of black boys in the hands of their mothers and white female teachers? and When does a boy become a man? The significance of rite of passage activities, including mentoring, male bonding, and spirituality, are all described.

This series combines all four volumes while candidly exploring the devastating effects of Western civilization on African Americans. Offering suggestions to correct the dehumanization of African American children, this series tells how to ensure that African American boys grow up to be strong, committed, and responsible African American men.
