For too long the media has painted all black men in a negative way. However, black men are much more than they are portrayed to be. Above all else, they are normal people. My hope is to encourage all black men who are making the effort to be good people and to educate others who may have the wrong perception about who they are. I also want these men to use this opportunity as a channel to communicate to society how they feel about being subjected to prejudice. This way, we can all appreciate these same men I have come to know, love and cherish.
