Guidance For Young Black Men can be used as a useful tool in the lives of young men who do not have positive male role models. Author William Clark, a black man, shares his life experiences and offers direction in areas he needed guidance in as a young man. Positive male mentors are needed in the black community. Clark aspires to be the mentor that many young black men need but don't have. Clark wrote this book for black males who are ages 13 and up. In it he discusses how to handle peer pressure, hip-hop culture, the legal system, encounters with law enforcement, women, preparing to provide, money management and creating a positive self image.
