Tonight, I’m looking forward to hanging out with the men and young men of the congregation that I serve. We’re going to The Charles Theater to view a special documentary presented by my brothers LaMarr Darnell Shields (Urban Leadership Institute) and local documentarian, Janks Morton (What Black Men Think).
The film is entitled “Men II Boys” and it provides insight, guidance, and challenges to Black boys AND the Black men who love them.
I realize that some of you will read this after today (April 14, 2009), but I would still strongly encourage you to visit their site and consider showing the film at your school, church, or community organization. There is also an accompanying book as well that unveils 101 things that every young boy of color needs to know.
Here’s a preview from the film:

Hey folks – the documentary last night was great. About 500 people (mostly men) turned out and were inspired by the message which underscored the importance of fatherhood and provided words of wisdom and practical advice to younger brothers coming up. I would highly recommend that you order the DVD and show it to men and young men in your sphere of influence. It will most certainly spawn discussion and hopefully action as well.
Peace My brother,
I just observed the documentary Boys II Men on the utube. It really help me to see how important it is that we as Black Men, be involved in the lives of our children. If you can brother, please send info in relation to ordering the dvd and info on community action tacking place by you and your organization. I want to step up and be counted in the struggle. Peace.
