Synopsis:

The men of The Council of Elders grew up in North Carolina, Wisconsin, South Carolina, and Washington, D.C. Their stories teach very vivid lessons about growing from boyhood to manhood in predominately Black communities during the forties, sixties, seventies, and eighties. However, the lessons of Black manhood -working to provide for one's family, and being emotionally and actively connected to one's family are timeless.
This book is about the power of family, community, education, and faith. These are stories of joining forces and beating the odds. It is a book about men changing their lives and the lives of others.
All the gentlemen of the Council of Elders have mastered the “art of the hustle” in ways that have enriched their lives, their families, and their communities.
Stories related here use the Elders’ insights and life experiences to teach what every young man needs to know about work, family (especially about rearing sons), and much more.
This book answers some of the most important questions about becoming a strong, capable Black man:
What is the difference between getting a whipping and being abused?
What is a man’s role in his family?
What makes a “village” and why do Black children need to grow up in one?
What kind of legacy should every father leave his sons?
How can Black men empower themselves?
