Description
Stories influence both entire cultures and individuals.The good news is that the story that you inherit does not have to be the story that you accept and pass along to others. Since 1619, we have all been told a distorted story about black men in America. Yet many have chosen to take back the pen and write a better story.The value of a black man's life has become a mainstream conversation in the 21st century. We Want A Different Story engages this critical conversation with hopes of cultivating healing and empathy in our society.The stories, facts and solutions will assist readers from all backgrounds in deconstructing a false narrative of black inferiority. Terence June Gray, M.Div is a Pastor, Writer and Hip Hop Artist from Memphis, TN. He has served the youth of inner city Memphis and Dallas as an artist, pastor, case manager and mentor.
