The Men Folk

This is a book about African-American men; aptly referred to as “The Men Folk.” These are men who hail from all walks of life; and, they range in ages eighteen through ninety-eight years. A majority of these men were reared in traditional homes; and, they boast of being ‘proud Americans.’ These are sons, brothers, fathers/grandfather, uncles, nephews, who have contributed to America’s growth and prosperity. They represent every socioeconomic, educational, and political status in America, and the world. African-American men in particular have come under intense racial fire, since the 2008 election of Senator Barack H. Obama, who became the first African-American and 44th President of the United States. Men represented here are unsung heroes, whose contributions are largely ignored, thus, this book is dedicated to them.
