In "Men We Cherish," African-American women celebrate everyday heroes: fathers and grandfathers, brothers and best friends, sons and husbands. Thirty essays, memoirs, and love letters offer moving portraits of the Black men who never make the headlines, who quietly go about the business of building families and communities, who make the daily struggle for respectability and decency look easy. Editor Brooke Stephens has united a diverse body of voices, including Bebe Moore Campbell, Sadie and Bessie Delany, Marita Golden, and Charlayne Hunter-Gault, in a groundbreaking anthology that stands alone as a rare reflection on the honesty, generosity, and depth that is the reality of African-American men.
