Creating a Serious and Continuous Conversation on the Human Rights of African Americans 

AFRICAN AMERICAN MALE

African American males suffer disproportionately from social ills in our society.  These include inadequate education, housing, high unemployment, poor health care and the criminal justice system.  The dismal state of African American males inspire the most fervent energy and sense of urgency.  Nonetheless, the efforts toward studying the African American male are lagging in analysis and proposed solutions. Emphasis is being placed on developing and distributing quality research information to decision makers that address the plight of the African American male.  The Boukman Institute is attempting to influence those decision makers to draft and implement a response to the crisis facing the black male.
