Sinopsis

Lessons We Learned from Our Fathers honors all the fathers you never hear about on the news, who are actively engaged fathers. From the father on the SEPTA subway platform in Philadelphia feeding his newborn, to the father in Rucker Park in Harlem watching guys hoop while his baby takes an afternoon nap, a transformation has been occurring amongst Black fathers.

These fathers are "woke" and fully engaged in raising children to be scholars, community transformational leaders, spiritual anchors and individuals who love and care about humanity.

While we may never see their names or photographs in the Washington Post or the New York Times, these men have created a standard in their homes and families that models Black manhood in its truest form.

Although seldom acknowledged or discussed, the Black community has a rich legacy of fathers whom have blazed the trail, up lifting families and maintaining the richness of family and community life.
