From Trayvon Martin to Tamir Rice, the list of young black men who have suffered racial violence continues to grow. Young black people also deal with profound stereotypes and structural barriers. And yet, young black men are often paradoxically revered as icons of cultural cool. Our Black Sons Matter features contributions from women across the racial spectrum who are raising or have raised black sons--whether biologically their sons or not. The book courageously addresses painful trauma, challenges assumptions, and offers insights and hope through the deep bonds between mothers and their children. Both a collective testimony and a collective love letter, Our Black Sons Matter sends the message that black lives matter and speaks with the universal love of all mothers who fear for the lives of their children."--Provided by publisher. 650 0 African American young men. 650 0 African American boys. 650 0 Mothers and sons|zUnited States. 650 0 African Americans|xFamily relationships. 650 0 Black lives matter movement. 700 1 Yancy, George,|eeditor of compilation. 700 1 Davidson, Maria del Guadalupe,|eeditor of compilation. 700 1 Hadley, Susan|q(Susan Joan),|d1967-|eeditor of compilation. 776 08 |iOnline version:|tOur black sons matter|dLanham, MD : Rowman & Littlefield, [2016]|z9781442269125|w(DLC) 2016025477
