My Seven Black Fathers Iron Widow But when a school competition

But when a school competition invites students to create their own businesses

As she comes to distrust the only family she’s ever known

Each chapter ends with a prompt encouraging girls to write a letter to themselves

And they’re willing to fight an entire war to get there

and breaking them will have dire consequences

My Seven Black Fathers Iron Widow But when a school competition"Will Jawando's account of mentorship, service, and healing lays waste to the racist stereotype of the absent Black father. By arguing that Black fathers are not just found in individual families, but are indeed the treasure of entire Black communities, Will makes the case for a bold idea: that Black men can counter racist ideas and policies by virtue of their presence in the lives of Black boys and young men. This is a story we need to hear." Ibram
