SOCIAL ADVOCACY

82.3% is the number of African American children born since 1990 that will not live in the same home as their biological fathers before their 16th birthday. Today, a generation of African American youth, specifically boys, have not had sustained access to positive paternal or male role models. Consequently, the concept of a residential father is often too removed from these children’s reality. Many of us know the statistics; too many of us have attempted to affect the dilemmas facing young boys individually. The question iYAGO asks is what are you willing to do?

According to the book Representing: Hip Hop Culture and the Production of Black Cinema By S. Craig Watkins, the controversial 1965 Moynihan Report on Black poverty argued that the matriarchal structure of Black culture weakened the ability of Black men to function as co-equal authority figures which has become a widespread dominant paradigm for comprehending the social and economic disintegration of late twentieth-century Black urban life. The dissolution of the traditional two parent Black family has affected several generations of all social outcomes for Blacks.
