Description: Celebrate the legacy of the African-American family through photographs by the best black photographers - past and present. As the anniversary of the Million Man March draws near, these photographs symbolize the commitment to family and community made in Washington, D.C., in October 1995. The moving text by Michael Cottman explores the families of men who participated in the March and examines how their lives and commitments have been strengthened and affirmed by that.

Empowering experience. This book is a testimonial to the grandparents and parents, aunts and uncles, sisters and brothers, cousins and children who are the black family of America today.
