The insights, experiences, and first-hand knowledge of our boys’ experiences emanate from Mr. Bourne’s pages. He has compiled the research, science, and psychology of the black male experience and framed it in the user-friendly form of story and anecdote. The book provides shared accounts of individuals and their plights, and the author details how they reflect the broader needs of our community and the ails and failures of our systems. Mr. Bourne has crafted a thought-provoking and practical guide for families and educators. A tool for every household and school.”
