The Goal of the Paradox Group is to document our American survival stories and make them available to learners who seek context, understanding, and insight into how Black men manage themselves and lead their families, loved ones, and communities through generational discrimination growing out of the structural paradox of societal obfuscation of American justice, whether conscious or unconscious, in religion, education, the workplace, healthcare, housing, incarceration, mortality, civic responsibilities, and etc. In other words, how PARADOX men protected relationships by self denial and absorbing much of the human cost of American racism - from cradle to grave.
