More on the state of Black Men



I recently came across an article from MSNBC's website that provided yet another synopsis of the current condition of America'a Black male population. It appears that ever since the infamous New York Times piece, other news outlets have followed suit and reported their own "State of the Black Male" address. Actually, the MSNBC article (by way of the Washington Post) reminds me of the PBS television special produced by Dr. Henry Louis Gates entitled, America Beyond the Color Line. Both the article and Gates' special provide a glimpse into the totality of Black life by focusing on the various class structures within African-American society.
