The Local Take With Kiplyn Primus addressed these challenges as we discussed them with African American men on Saturday, Sept 6th at 7AM.  Our guests  included CAU Political Science Professor Dr. William Boone, and Artis Brunson, member of the Restorative Justice Board for the City of Atlanta.
We also featured listener calls about this important community issue.
