young African-American males. Although these images dominate
newscasts, there are many young African-American males leading

brothers literally needing to pull their pants up, but there are
also young brothers figuratively needing help in pulling their
personal and professional pants up.

motivation (TIM) Evaluate potential obstacles Work against drugs,
school dropouts, and crime And much more
Knowles beseeches Americans to overcome negative impressions of
young brothers so they can collectively "Help Them Pull Their Pants
Up,"
