"How do I tell my Sun how to behave when he hasn't done anything wrong?" a young Mother from Baltimore asked is a profound, but old consideration for Black parents. It has plagued the consciousness of Blacks throughout the days of kidnapping into slavery, slavery to the present day. The challenge to today's Black mothers is what they don't know about their story in America and don't grasp about where they fit in society.

The link between young parents and wise elders isn't there anymore and there is no outcry? That is a problem in Baltimore's Black community, which is little different in this respect in other Black communities. . . - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 5.5.15
