This book is dedicated to my beloved uncle (Robert D. Miller), cousin (Kenneth L. E. Anderson), brother (Marcus T. Moore), son (James L. Moore IV), and nephew (Weston Miles Sullivan). You all have played a major role in shaping who I am and who I hope to eventually become. Because of you, I am forever inspired and motivated to use my talents and skills to improve the overall quality of life for black boys and men. Thank you for always serving as an inspiration!

– James L. Moore III

This book is dedicated to my wife, Mechael Lewis, and my two beautiful daughters, Myra and Sydney Lewis, who allocated the necessary time and space for me to complete this significant project. I thank each of you for your continuous support and encouragement. I love you!
