About this listen

Listen to an intimate account of a mother's efforts to save her son. Telling her son's story against the backdrop of a society plagued by systemic racism, economic inequality, and mass incarceration, Golden offers a form of witness and testimony in a time of crisis for Black Americans.

Learn how to grapple with the realities of Black America. Join Golden as she confronts the root causes of violence inflicted upon Black teen boys and reassesses the legacy of her own generation's struggle for civil rights. Explore Black boys' difficult road to adulthood in the US and learn why single Black mothers are often wrongly blamed for their sons' actions.

Gain invaluable advice and knowledge from trustworthy sources. In Saving Our Sons, Golden documents her conversations with psychologists, writers, and young Black males themselves.

This book is designed to help you:

  • Discuss and unpack generational trauma with loved ones
  • Gain deeper insight into the injustices Black children face in the US
  • Recognize the importance of community for the success of Black teen boys
