The state of Black America is a much debated topic in our nation. Pundits and scholars ponder what are the gaps that separate African Americans from other majority and minority cultures and why they exist. The issue has been attacked on many fronts; social, spiritual, cultural, legislative. While this multifaceted debated rages, more Black children are being left behind in our school systems, more Black men are wasting their youth in the prison system, more Black men and women are dying of curable diseases, and more Black families sit on the economic sideline while our nation prospers.
