Abstract

AbstractThis article shares how three African‐centered Black men partnered with a school system to develop and implement an Africentric rites of passage program for seventh‐ and eighth‐grade Black male students. The proposed school‐based intervention aimed to socialize, educate, and cultivate Black boys in preparation for manhood. Theoretically, the conceptual framework was anchored in African paradigms from Afrocentricity, Kawaida, and Pan‐Africanism. The authors provided an overview of the program, which included the program structure, activities, and events. We concluded with a discussion of program challenges and recommendations for future research and program implementation.
