This article by Dr. Janean Dilworth-Bart, co-authored by Dr. Bakari Wallace [PhD 2021, Civil Society & Community Research] and alumna Oona-Ifé Olaiya Wright [BS ’17, Human Development & Family Studies] addresses ways that Black men make sense of their personal histories and connect these histories to how they raise their children.
