"Until and unless administrators, staff, and faculty behave differently, Black men's mental health will remain highly susceptible to unnecessary and consequential attacks. Black male collegians deserve better. They deserve wellness. They deserve affirmation. They deserve institutional responsibility. They deserve to be whole." — From the foreword by Shaun Harper
