From Black Boys to Black Men
And the Fear that Brings
The focus of this webinar is from the Black boy’s perspective; what it’s like to go from that precious chubby-cheeks child to a young man now seen as a threat.
In this webinar, The Cradle’s Our Children initiative brings together a panel of Generation Z and Millennial males to discuss their transition from a young boy to a young man and the fear that brings to many people. The panelists share experiences from when they first realized that they were viewed differently than their White counterparts. They share their fears and the things that Black boys and young men must be mindful of as they go through life at school or hanging out with friends.
