The Beautiful Struggle: A Father, Two Sons, and an Unlikely Road to Manhood
Great video . A reminder why I keep praying for my sons, nephews and grandsons those I've met and those I'll hear about.
There is greatness in each of you. Ta-Nehisi thank you for being a beacon of light and standing in the gap as a bridge for many who will come across because of who you are. God keep you always.
Oh, man, I cannot wait to read this book.
You gotta start posting 'bout your upcoming readings. Is there an Events widget you can get for TypePad?
Awesome.
I could write for hours on just that clip and I am already adding this memoir to my book list, but I will contain my riff to just that one section where you spoke about how your life would have been different - had you been adopted - and the conversations you find yourself in with just people on the street:
Isn't it amazing that in the abstract, we profess that "all men are created equal" while in the actual, we seek to classify and stratify people into social constructs of smart/dumb.
Perhaps it has always been that way - but does that doom us to forever following the same pattern?
"...drag you across the finish line."
- dope.
