Summary:
"Our
Black
Sons Matter is a powerful collection of original essays, letters, and poems that addresses both the deep joys and the very real challenges of raising
black
boys
today. From Trayvon Martin to Tamir Rice, the list of young
black
men who have suffered racial violence continues to grow. Young
black
people also deal with profound stereotypes and structural barriers. And yet, young
black
men are often paradoxically revered as icons of cultural cool. Our
Black
Sons Matter features contributions from women across the racial spectrum who are raising or have raised
black
sons--whether biologically their sons or not. The book courageously addresses painful trauma, challenges assumptions, and offers insights and hope through the deep bonds between mothers and their children. Both a collective testimony and a collective love letter, Our
Black
Sons Matter sends the message that
black
lives matter and speaks with the universal love of all mothers who fear for the lives of their children."--From publisher.
