Brown Brother Book Club

Since the creation of this blog, we have always had a selected book that was chosen to give some new materiel to read and something that might broaden our knowledge. Something that was made to strengthen us in a specific area of our life.


Well, basically for the last few months, the book list has been non-existent. I thought the idea was a little to repetitive and we needed something different. However, through this lack of reading posts, I found that the Book of the Month was something that y'all looked forward too.


The book of the month, was a powerful asset and one that was beloved. It gave ideas and the books help strength the mind and spirit. Therefore, the books are returning. We are going to start the Brown Brother Book Club.


The book club is like non-other. The book club is one that is designed and geared for young black males. Every book, every month will be one that is for young black males and gives the idea/mindsets used.


The books will be chosen based on what they were written about and the topics that they discuss.


There is not another book club that I am aware of that caters just to Brothers.


I want to change the narrative and stereotype that young black males do not read. Therefore, lets change this and continue to advance in our knowledge.


In closing, here is the first official book selection of the new Brown Brother Book Club.....




"Countering the Conspiracy to Destroy Black Boys, Vol. 1" by: Dr. Jawanza Kunjufu




This book is amazing, I have started reading on this book and although this book is older, it tells everything that is going on currently. It is incredible read and one that will have your mind stimulated as well as aware.


This book is for the conscious mind or at least the mind that is trying to go to new levels of understanding. This book will answers quite a few questions.


I know this book will be one that will be worth your time reading. Also, the book is like just 40 pages, so a powerful and jammed-packed book of knowledge.


You can find this book at the library for rental. Or, if you want to own a copy, Amazon.com for $5 dollars.

Well, it is Black History Month. This is the time to honor those in the past and plan for the future. If you follow me on Twitter, you will see that I have retweeting Black History facts on the daily. And, not just any old facts, but facts that even I did not know. I have began to find some amazing things on their. For more daily facts, follow me @BrownBrotherWeb on Twitter. Anyway, that got me to thinking. Every Black History Month, we usually hear the same facts. And, to those who are new to the idea of being aware of our greatness may get confused or closed in. Meaning, they think are achievements are limited to the same ones that they always hear. Therefore, I wanted to compiled a list of little know Black History Facts. Particularly, a list of things that were invented by Black Men. I wanted to do this to show our greatness and make those aware who are not that we are greater than any of our circumstances. That greatness can be achieved by anyone, and the only thing that one...

Mr. Alton Sterling & Mr. Philando Castile

I sat at my computer, and I logged on to Twitter. To my shocked, yet unsurprised emotions, another Black Man was killed in America. Once again, another hashtag was created. A father of children, and a provider killed again. His name was, no IS Mr. Alton Sterling. Mr. Sterling like I stated above was a father, and a man just trying to do what he could to be what he knew was being a man. In addition, as I read his case and looked at him. Something got me, and hit me hard. His stature and expressions reminded me of yet another case of a Black Man being killed that broke my heart: Mr. Eric Garner. Both men, simply doing the American way is of Entrepreneurship to make ends make. To take care of their families. However, both are gone to soon. Mr. Sterling is another case of the plight of being a Black Man in America. However, the situation and the state of my emotions got worse. Before I could even grief or disgust the case of Mr. Sterling murder, I heard that possible another black man wa...

RIP Mr. Dick Gregory

Mr. Dick Gregory was much more than a comedian. To simply say he was a comedian would almost water-down his greatness. The greatness in which he used a comedic style to educate those of various generations and philosophies. Mr. Dick Gregory was a man of intelligence, sophistication, and humor. Mr. Gregory was a truth seeker and one whom understood that a man must always investigate the conspiracy as well as facts written in the open to truly get a possible understanding of this cryptic world. Baba Gregory understood the importance of health and taking care of one's body. He understand the importance of a healthy spiritual life, and having a true connection with the one true universal GOD. And, the importance of being aware of our ancestors whom came before we all did. Furthermore, Mr. Gregory understood the importance of mental awareness, and the idea to continue to read and learn throughout the journey of life. Mr. Gregory activism and platform is beyond great, and very ...
