What is it to be a man? What qualities define manhood? Dr. Harriette Bias-Insignares remembers when young men of her generation were taken under wing by people like her father and shown how to reach manhood in a purposeful, productive, unfaltering way. Those young men learned how to reach their potential and not get snared in the devastating traps of gangs, drugs, and crime. Bias-Insignares has seen the troubling statistics about young African American men alongside other young men and is raising her voice, calling to action those who can help reduce the startling statistics. Men, she says, must understand that they are central to each others success and to the development of each generation.
