Empowering African-American Males to Succeed: A Ten-Step Approach for Parents and Teachers

Michael Wynn's 140 page book is a great handbook for parents, educators, or others who want to help young African American males in particular, but any young people, succeed. Each of the 10 chapters called Blocks include a foundational reminder like an explanation of a quality or characteristic necessary for success. That is followed by a poem, an affirmation, or an activity to engage the young person in doing. Each block has a hands-on activity that is easy to incorporate in a family meeting, a class lesson or a rites of passage program or something of that nature. It is easy to follow, easy to use, and a wonderful asset.
