Over the last 100 years, perhaps no segment of the American
population has been more analyzed than black males. The subject of
myriad studies and dozens of government boards and commissions,
black men have been variously depicted as the progenitors of pop
culture and the menaces of society, their individuality often
obscured by the narrow images that linger in the public mind. Ten
years after the Million Man March, the largest gathering of black
men in the nation's history, "Washington Post" staffers began
meeting to discuss what had become of black men in the ensuing
decade. How could their progress and failures be measured?
Their questions resulted in a "Post" series which generated
enormous public interest and inspired a succession of dynamic
public meetings. It included the findings of an ambitious
nationwide poll and offered an eye-opening window into questions of
race and black male identity--questions gaining increasing
attention with the emergence of Senator Barack Obama as a serious
presidential contender. At the end of the day, the project revealed
that black men are deeply divided over how they view each other and
their country.
Now collected in one volume with several new essays as well as an
introduction by Pulitzer Prizewinning novelist Edward P. Jones,
these poignant and provocative articles let us see and hear black
men like they've never been seen and heard before.
