With the next millennium approaching, it is very evident that there is a large void in the magazine in-
dustry for African American Men. Today’s Renaissance Man, is here to fi ll that void! Renaissance is
defi ned as a period of rebirth or revival. As, “The Magazine for Today’s Progressive African American
Man!” Today’s Renaissance Man is dedicated to providing the most important information on the top-
ics that Today’s Renaissance Man, (whether he is white, black or any other race) wants and needs to
know about.
As we look to the Harlem Renaissance, we see that there are a number of similarities between this
period and Today’s Renaissance. At a time when separate but equal was the law but not the practice,
African Americans created the soul of this country. With men such as Langston Hughes, Paul Robe-
son, W.E.B. DuBois & Duke Ellington, we see a rich and strong foundation of which Today’s Renais-
sance Man can stand on. With more and more African American Men receiving more post graduate
degrees, starring in big budget fi lms, making decisions for Fortune 500 companies, starting their own
businesses, and being elected to political offi ces, we are proving more and more that we are a vital
part of Today’s Renaissance! We should always remember that, “where there is no vision, the people
perish.” Proverbs 29:18. With this in mind we give that vision: Today’s Renaissance Man!
Throughout the years, African American Men have been stereotyped in numerous ways, many of
which are not positive. As the publisher of Today’s Renaissance Man, I believe that “Greater is He that
is in me than he that is in the world.” So, we must not let this “world” or society claim a vast number of
our brothers. Remember, “I AM MY BROTHER’S KEEPER!” So at this time, we must take a decisive
and defi nitive stand for our families, our country, our brothers, and ourselves!
Today’s Renaissance Man is more than just a magazine it is a LIFE-STYLE! It is a life-style that the
man next to you is living; a life-style you’ve always wanted to live, but no one showed you how. Well,
that’s what we’re here to do! In short, Today’s Renaissance Man will be the lighthouse leading you
into the next century!!!

Who is Today’s Renaissance Man? Is he African-American, Caucasian, Jew-
ish, Hispanic, or maybe Asian? Yes and No. He can be that as well as any-
thing else he chooses to be. He has no boundaries around who he can be.
His blood bleeds red. His image is the image of his creator. He is a man who
is searching for his Eve. He is a provider, a caretaker, a motivator and an in-
spiration and role model to his seeds. He has no boundaries around who he
can be. That is who Today’s Renaissance Man is.
When I began to write this letter, I wanted to begin the fi rst paragraph in rela-
tion to the struggle and plight of African-American men. But I realized being a
Renaissance Man is not an exclusive club for men of color (we’ve got enough
of those), rather it’s a fraternal order created by the most high for all men of
all colors. The core principles are the same, but noticing, respecting and ap-
preciating the differences is what makes us who we are.
Before this magazine can enlighten the masses, we have to turn on the light
in the minds of those with whom we have the most in common, and for me
that would be African-American men. That’s why I’ve accepted the responsi-
bility of presenting the stories, viewpoints, struggles, and beliefs of African-
American men to the American public that has assisted, not caused, some of
us to view ourselves in so many negative lights. Sure there are positives to
the way we handle our lives as men, but how often do you get to hear about
them? Our pledge to you is to bring you those uplifting, inspiring, entertain-
ing stories and interviews that you have to beg other magazines to provide.
It’s time to let America know there’s more to, and in, our minds than sex and
it’s about time somebody told them.
Each section within this magazine is designed to eat at a particular piece of
your mind, so by the time you’ve fi nished reading “How I See It,” you’ll feel
full. Now, if we haven’t accomplished that, then I expect to hear your input
on how we can correct that for the next issue. I’m sure you’ve heard the say-
ing, “It takes a village to raise a child.” Well, the same holds true here. As we
begin to grow into something that will forever be seen as the lighthouse that
led African-American men into the 21st century, we will need your guidance
in making sure that light is bright and pointed towards our futures. Don’t pas-
sively sit by and take this for granted because I’m not and neither is the staff
that has, is and will work to make this The Magazine for Today’s Progressive
African-American Man!
I AM MY BROTHER’S KEEPER!!!
