The '4:44' Syllabus For Black Men Is Here

A new syllabus based entirely around Jay-Z’s album “4:44” now exists, and it’s encouraging black men to explore everything from fatherhood and mental health to gender fluidity and black wealth. 

The online syllabus launched on Aug. 27, and contains readings and resources from around the internet to help unpack the major themes explored by Jay-Z on the album. According to ESSENCE, the document was created by Anthony Boynton, Anthony J. Williams, Daniel Johnson, and Henry Washington Jr. in collaboration with 16 other people.
