ÒThe Black ManÕs JournalÓ, is a collection of journal
entries created by a 28 year old black man in the city of Detroit. Through short stories, interviews, poetry, and testimonies, he is able to detail his experiences as a social worker, significant other to black women, and resident of the city that some may call - The ÒDÓ, Motown, The 313, The Motor City, or home.
His writing begins with a short poem entitled, ÒWho am IÓ,
which displays the perceived and true identity of African
American males. The book ends with a letter that he created
for the MAN upstairs (GOD). In the letter he praises GOD for his growth and development. In addition, he details the
experiences that have led him to seek the one and only -
GOD. He was once told, ÒIf GOD is the only thing you have,
you donÕt need anything else.Ó
