Book Review: A Plea To Our Sons
Highly Inspirational, Life-Changing!
I had the opportunity to read Alice Taylor’s new book A Plea to Our Sons, from a Mother who Cares. This book offers advice and pep talks from Alice and from a variety of Black men on how young black men can find their way in an often confusing and hostile world with self-respect and wisdom. This would be a great gift idea to mature well thinking black men especially in the climate we find ourselves in today.

The daily struggles they face, many of which are the stumbling blocks to achieving their dreams as many are the time's men of colour are looked down upon, especially in the African-American society.
