Darryl Sims and some of the nation's most prominent and visible preachers-including Jeremiah Wright Jr., Charles E. Booth, Walter S. Thomas, Otis Moss Jr., and Ralph Douglas West-candidly explore the issues faced by African American men in our society. Exposing the struggles that African American men confront daily, often alone in silence, these messages of hope seek to empower men who are attempting to overcome feelings of inadequacy in their roles as husbands, fathers, friends, and employees. Collectively, these messages analyze the social, political, and psychological odds faced by black males and present and awakened spirituality as an alternative to unhealthy escapes.
