About The Event
Black Boys Fly is a coming-of-age period piece connecting the individual human journey to personal healing and collective progress. This story integrates the structural solutions recommended by Rich Reaches Out, a nonprofit organization for which the author works. If you can’t stand, then you have to fly… Literally, through this book, readers learn to remedy the deficit state of the world by equitably participating in making you and us more whole.
