Veteran educator Baruti K. Kafele confronts the chronic achievement gap between black male students and their peers in this timely, necessary book. The root causes of this gap are addressed, and specific actions are given that can positively impact black males and raise their achievement level--both in school and beyond.

Kafele’s blueprint for success can be applied to a variety of environments--from urban to rural and all-black to mixed schools--and his book gives concrete steps that educators and leaders can use to empower black males. Mentorship programs, reversing negative influences, and cultivating pride in heritage are only a few steps in this crucial process.
