    The challenges and obstacles to full participation of African American men in the mainstream economic and social structure of American life is rapidly becoming an area of public debate. The essential rationale for this work is that there is a need to clarify the basic issues and to achieve a better understanding of the obstacles facing young black men in our society. This study is designed to enhance current knowledge and understanding of how different people in urban communities are attempting to address the needs of young black men. Its purpose is to further academic understanding and knowledge about community based male socialization programs for black inner city youth.
