Ebony Magazine’s October Men’s issue celebrates #blackmalebrilliance with a cover of The Roots. “The Root Theory” cover story examines band leader Questlove and MC Black Thought’s embodiment of hip hop’s ‘Hood-to-Hollywood evolution.

EBONY’s EIC Kierna Mayo describes the men’s issue this way…”Black male brilliance is everyday and everywhere and evermore, and no matter what life feels like in America when another day comes and yet another dead Black child becomes a hashtag for justice, it is a thing we must recognize, hold on to and uplift.”

The issue examines the band’s 14 year rise to stardom, speaks to the NFL’s #2 Troy Vincent, details the 20 year anniversary of the Million Man March by Louis Farrakhan and much more #blackmalebrilliance!

BMWK, How do you feel about #blackmalebrilliance?
