Shawn Ginwright's eye-opening work shows why he is one of the nation's most provocative, insightful, and healing voices. -Susan L.

Black Youth Rising shows us that despite the broad array of hardships facing black youth, young people supported by caring adults can be organized and empowered to confront these challenges and to take control of their lives.
