Dr. Courtney Cogburn and Dr. Justin Harty tackle the expansive discussion on what it means to be Black in America, and the specific implications for Black men and Black fathers. Exploring the impact of Black pride on physical and mental health, the speakers reflect on the historical and current significance of identity and connection to the culture for Black fathers, and how this influences their role in families and communities. The Black family system includes the Black child, the mother, and the father. Each adult in the system is critical to the future of the child and, by extension, the Black community. Supporting Black fathers is an act of resistance rooted in the deep and storied history of Black peoples. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/alvin-thomas17/message
