Real Black Men Don’t Sit Crosslegged on the Floor

Real Black Men… spans three decades (the 1960s through the 1990s), tracing the complicated lives of eight men of color and consciousness.

Among them are a conjure man, cursed by his ex-lover; a gay man with AIDS who travels to Africa on a last journey of self-discovery; a wheelchair-bound Viet Nam veteran taunted by the ghost of a Viet Cong guerrilla fighter with, “Black man, why you fight here”; a jailhouse blues man; a spirit of the unborn who weaves in and out of all of the men’s lives.
