MAITLAND, FL— Within the pages of Oscar J.
Dowdell-Underwood, Ph.D.’s new book, Bumblebees Can Fly – Empowering Young Men of
Color, ($16.99, paperback, 9781498444422) readers will discover the
relationship between marginalization, perceptions of mattering, and achievement
among young men of color. Like the bumblebee (that defies the law of
aerodynamics to fly), all young men of color – and all individuals – have the
inherent power to overcome challenges and do the seemingly impossible. Author proffers
person-centric strategies of engaging personal Inherent Power for the poor, and
young men of color in order to overcome marginalization and maximize human
potential. Strategies for parents, educators, government, policymakers,
community leaders, and nonprofit organizations are also discussed.
“GOD has placed in every human being the inherent power needed to be the best that he or she can be and to fulfill the destiny and purpose for which he or she was created,” states the author. “The plight of young men of color cannot be meaningfully improved as long as their personal inherent power is ignored or compromised. Personal accountability and motivation must be a part of the equation.”
Oscar J. Dowdell-Underwood’s PhD and doctoral dissertation from Indiana State University focused on the plight of young men of color. He has spent over 43 years in education and over 30 years in ministry developing and coaching human potential. He has published other books on this subject and has testified before U.S. Congress in regards to his methods. He founded a 25-year old urban prep school that exemplifies the principles emphasized in this book, Bumblebees Can Fly - Empowering Young Men of Color.
