When the 180 Traveled 360

Bys: Muhammad, Liles, Garonnu

In the early 90s, HBCU campuses were focal points for tens of thousands of Black youth all over the nation. It was the golden era of Hip Hop and the powerful message of Emcees helped to guide millions of our people out of the darkness into the light. As a result, many of these found themselves at Black Colleges. With most of these universities located in the south, high school grads made their pilgrimage to lands and realities unknown, leaving behind friends, family and the environment that shaped them, with hopes for a better future and a college degree.This book depicts the lives of three young men from New York who undergo a series of trials, learning experiences, and rites of passage, if you will, as they struggle to find their way in a small southern town. Having a common home town, these young men find common ground and begin a bond that for some, last even today. You will discover the great times they had along with the dark side of life on and off Black college campuses. We will expose the reader to the drugs and crime, student loan pimping, disloyalty, Freaknic, Daytona Beach, date rape, and so much more. After 20 plus years of brotherhood, these brothers, now fathers and husbands reunite to relive their college experience with hopes of exposing the pitfalls and traps laid for our people to fail, particularly young Black men. It serves as a guide for parents, and students alike, who will certainly find entertainment and lessons walking off every page.
