American Promise

A documentary 13 years in the making, American Promise provides a rare look into the lives of two middle class black families as they navigate the ups and down of parenting and educating their sons. Our goal is to empower boys, their parents, and educators to help close the Black male achievement gap. The film will be release on PBS along with our parenting book, "Promises Kept: How to Help Black Boys Succeed in School and in Life," by Random House in 2013.
