Saving Our Sons

After two decades, critically acclaimed author, creative writing coach, literary consultant, and co-founder of The Hurston/Wright Foundation Marita Golden revisits her seminal work, Saving Our Sons. In it, Golden was the first Black writer to address the horrifying phenomenon of police brutality wrought upon young Black men. This intimate account of a mother’s efforts to save her son, which includes conversations with psychologists, writers, and young Black males themselves, remains a timely read.
