Boys and young men of color need and want advice on all kinds of issues, for all kinds of problems, questions, and concerns. Often, they don't know who or how to ask. 101 Things Every Boy/Young Man of Color Should Know provides the page turning resource needed to inspire every boy of color to do their best. This book is a collection of motivational messages from men who are concerned about the well-being of young males of color.
The foreword was written by Congressmen Jesse Jackson, Jr, and the introduction was written by David Banks, founder of the Eagle Heights Academy for Young Men.
101 Things Every Boy/Young Man of Color Should Know was the motivation behind the critically acclaimed documentary Men II Boys, by filmmaker Janks Morton.

Great Book for parents to read/share with their sons,
By Natural Sista (Maryland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 101 Things Every Boy/Young Man of Color Should Know (Paperback)
This book is not only beautiful on the outside, it is on the inside as well. It shares so many great inspirations and goals that every young man should aspire for. I would recommend this book to all young men. We need something like this is the inner city schools as a guide for young men. There are so many households that lack that father figure and of course, a book cannot replace that figure, but it has great guidance to help those young man that don't have a positive roll model to look up to.
I think it would be great if there was a poster to go along with this book. This way as young men accomplish the 101 things mentioned, they can check mark it off as, "I have succeeded in completing this statement." Pick this book up! It's worth it to see your son(s) succeed!

If you are the parent of a young man of color, you will be crazy not to get this book.,
This review is from: 101 Things Every Boy/Young Man of Color Should Know (Paperback)
As a Juvenile Court Counselor in the State of North Carolina I have the opportunity to work with many young men of color. When I read this book it showed me what so many of these young men are missing. This book and video (Men II Boys) gives it's reader and viewers things to show young men of color. Since purchasing this book I have ask young men if they knew how to tie a tie, if they know how to pray, if they know how to shave etc. The answer is always "NO". We need to teach them in order to reach them. Please people get the book. My seven year old is reading it now (it's an easy read) and we will begin the teaching after the reading.

Both of your reviews are absolutely spot on. I went to one of their seminars and they were surely connecting with the youth. The OBW is..., they also now have the poster and it is on the wall by both of my sons' rooms.
