Books/Speeches for Black MEN

It's that time again. I thought we should start a list of Books/Articles/Journals/Speeches to read for African American MEN. We are all going through hard times and have to deal with all kinds of issues that many other people of different demographics don't have to deal with as much. I believe in self help and improvement on a personal level.

Please feel free to list good Books/Articles/Journals/Speeches to read for African American MEN.

How To Succeed In Business Without Being White: Straight Talk On Making It In America by Author: Graves, Earl  He said: "You can never ask a white person to buy your product or service without giving him or her a solid economic reason for doing it. Forget that it's the right thing to do. In this day and age, doing the right thing doesn't mean a thing in the white business community. It has to make economic sense." He shows how creating a network with other African Americans is the key, not to "getting inside the castle" guarded by the white "old boy network," but to having a presence and an economic impact that cannot be ignored.
