Block Description
African American male courage in fatherhood lies not only in providing but in breaking cycles—standing firm as role models in the face of generations marked by absence, systemic barriers, and fractured homes. It takes immense strength to nurture, discipline, and guide young men and women who may be growing up without consistent examples of fatherhood, redirecting their energy from misguided choices toward purpose, pride, and resilience. This courage is about planting seeds of stability and self-worth, teaching accountability and love, and reshaping the narrative for a generation that desperately needs the presence of strong, compassionate fathers.
Dir. Byron P. Hurt / 40:00 minutes
