Query: an important work

Ellis Close uses his experiences and the experiences of several other black men from all walks of life to examine the black male experience in America. This is by no means just a whine or a rant. Close has a lot of things to say to black men about the importance of education and the folly of the "cool pose". It's a short book but an important one. I've purchased copies for my two teenaged nephews.Kimberley Lindsay Wilson, author of 11 Things Mama Should Have Told You About Men
