Publisher's Synopsis
Every child needs a mentor, but especially the Black male. In many homes today, the average male will not have a positive role model in his life. He, too, may not experience a Black male teacher and in some cases an athletic coach either. What has happened to the Black male population? Why are so many Black male students gone missing in classrooms and what has happened to them after high school? In this book the authors write together to capture your attention on how to captivate and encourage the average Black male from rural and inner city school districts. This book is written off of experience and of good conscience of how we must raise up the Black male and inspire him to want to do better but most of all be better. How do we go from being distant with the Black male to establishing a mentoring relationship that is lasting and trusting? The authors will open your eyes to a new journey of how to make communities strong again. Connection to the classroom and to the community is the start to any child's trust but it goes deeper with the Black male in schools today. They need more from you and after reading this book, you will know exactly where to begin and how to continue your new established relationship with one another. It is a work in progress but most definitely one that is most needed for our ever-so-changing global society. Every Child Needs A Mentor!
