A MUST READ!

This book is a must read. In fact in my opinion it is this generation's version of the Autobiography of Malcolm X. It's purpose is to first get you to think and then get you to take action. The language of the book is straight forward and sometimes harsh but it is done with the purpose of getting your attention to the subject at hand. The subject: how the Black Male can do the things needed for the survivial of himself, the Black Woman and the Black Family while living in the United States. This is a book that will stay with you after you're done reading it. In addition there is a list of one hundred books which Michael Curtis Jones recommends. He has done his job. Now it is time for us to do ours!
