Being a Black Man
Wednesday, August 15, 2007
Over the past 50 years, black men have been perhaps the most studied and dissected population subgroup in America. The Washington Post recently wrapped a year-long series exploring what it’s really like to be a black man in America. The series has been compiled into a book, Being a Black Man. Leonard speaks with editor Kevin Merida and two of the contributors: Robert E. Pierre and Steven A. Holmes.
Being a Black Man is available for purchase at amazon.com
Weigh in: Do you think the mainstream media does a good job of talking about the experiences of black men in America?
