Sankofa: A Christian Rite of Passage for African-American Males

By Mr. Charles Madison Penn Nabrit, Mr. Damon Princeton Penn Nabrit, Ms Paula Jolyn Penn-Nabrit JD

Rites of Passage ceremonies are not new, but they symbolize the beginning of a new life phase-the transition from childhood to adulthood. Many of our children today are confused about which group they belong in and what behaviors are appropriate.Sankofa: Look to Your Past Forgotten Heritage speaks to the frequently ignored need for guidance, purpose, and encouragement for African-American youth. Paula Penn-Nabrit describes an easily adaptable approach to guiding African-American male adolescents through the process toward true, holistically healthy manhood.Like Rites of Passage, Sankofa is not new. It was originally published in 1995. Charles and Damon, the 13 year-old participants in the rite of passage recounted are now holistically healthy, 37 year-old African-American men. The process proved impactful enough in their lives to warrant a reissue of the book. #StillTimely
