Young Black Men Biography

African-American biographies for young adults have much to offer young adults in general and African-American young adults in particular. They can help black youth find a place to stand emotionally and psychologically. They can help black young people develop a sense of kinship with their black forebears, letting them know that they do not stand alone. African-American biographies can enable black
youth to recognize that being black does not have to mean defeat, but can also mean triumph and achievement. And they can allow the black young adult access to all the many black people who have gone
through struggles and overcome adversity. African-American young
adult biography can especially provide for the black reader the opportunity to become deeply involved in the lives of other black people in ways not possible in face-to-face contact.
