Man UP
I enjoyed this book, it does tell it like it is, no ifs ands or buts. It is time folks stopped blaming other folks, and took some responsibility on, and stepped up. We are out here, together, and we need to man up. NOBODY is coming to save us. The many voices that claim to speak for us, don't, their interests are not my interests, and more than likely not yours either. A book like this and many others like it needs far wider dissemination that it is getting. Enough of the sound bite mentality, self pity. Get up, stand up, and learn and do for yourselves.

A Manifesto for Manhood
Man Up! will become required reading for black Americans (young & old) in the sphere of my influence. This book delivers truth, problems, realities, and common sense solutions to the ills of the ebony community. Where did the brother find the wisdom, inspiration, and most of all the courage to say what needs to be said? We are destroying ourselves and must take corrective action now. This book is a manifesto and valuable first steps reading to a positive living in the right direction.

Man Up! Nobody is Coming to Save Us
Steve Perry does an incredible job pointing to the REAL issues concerning our Black youth. He doesn't pull any punches as he challenges each and every institution and encourages them to "Man Up" and begin to take responsibility to try to save the next generations of Black men. Excellent book for anyone concerned about future cultural stability.
