I AM A MAN: Black Manhood & Sexual Diversity Panelists;
Cleo Manago, Rev. Al Sharpton, Dr. Marc Lamont Hill, Esther Armah, Dr. R L’Heureux Lewis, Bishop John SeldersRarely discussed in a progressive informative format and even more elusively discussed in and by the black community. This panel discussion features premier voices in our community tackling black male sexuality, masculinity, manhood, our history and the influence of white gay culture.
Please view this eye opening and informative short documentary below, that at the very least will make you take pause and examine yourself, your fellow brothers and the black homosexual community.
During and after viewing this documentary, I had a sense of clarity and gratification because I knew some of the ideals and thoughts that the creators of Cypher Ave have expressed in private conversation and in previous posts on this website were not confined only to ourselves.
I am grateful to the panelists for their eloquent words and to Cleo Manago, founder of the Black Mens Xchange and the National Action Network for this production. Please share your thoughts after viewing the panel discussion.

Interesting documentary. Especially the observations made about the “down low” craze. The racial double-standard. Handsome educator Dr Marc Lamont Hill is spot on here…I don’t agree with all of the opinions he gives on his TVONE show and Fox News/MSNBC/CNN appearances but he definitely poses intelligent topics for debate.
I actually stumbled upon this site via a blog i was looking at, and I have to say the articles and posts have really opened my eyes to things in and outside of the black homosexual community. especially this video. The fem-on-fem hate article, I am a Man, the friends first post….all of these I read word for word & intend on applying to my life. Thank you. 🙂

Very powerful video and forum. This is my second or third or fourth (ha ha) time watching this piece. I enjoyed it immensely. Thank you bringing this much needed perspective about this information. This is the reason I come here because of the realness I get and feel when being here. The piece was very enlightening. I only wish I was in the audience, but especially during the question and answer period.
Please keep up the good work that you are doing. Nobody else is doing what you are doing, at least not to the depth with which you are doing it.
Such an insightful and though provocing video. Enjoyed the discussion.
