Encouraging my Sons’ Generation for Black Liberation WE NEED YOU! is a powerful narrative and testimony to the coming of age, growth, development, and thinking of an African-centered professional and freedom fighter. WE NEED YOU! is not a self-absorbed autobiography or volume filled with empty philosophical musings. It is a fire-hot clarion call for a new generation of Black organizers, workers, contributors, and champions. The voice of Mawuli Mel Davis pierces through each chapter and sears off the pages. The glory, ferocity and urgency of his words and story captures your attention and spurs intrigue. An intense and profound appeal for men and women of all ages, WE NEED YOU! encourages and demonstrates how to live, learn, and love being unapologetically Black. WE NEED YOU! is an open discussion on how we all can engage in a joyous journey to raise our level of social consciousness and support efforts to empower Black people across the globe. WE NEED YOU!: Encouraging my Sons’ Generation for Black Liberation is published by Third World Press.
