PUB: black masculinity essay contest
============ ========= =========
BLACK MASCULINITY ESSAY COMPETITION
What does it mean to be a man? How are black men represented and perceived?
What obstacles do they encounter? Are black men ever celebrated for any
positive contributions to mainstream American culture? Focusing on how black
masculinity defines the African American experience, within and outside the
mainstream, use the blog format to explore the dynamics of family, justice, community,
and culture.
Answer these questions, or any others you think relevant to the theme of

if desired. Only two submissions are allowed per writer. Winning selections
will receive 0 per article and feedback from Greg Tate.
Please submit your blog entries to tate@nbpc.tv
