Manhood From The Hood

The book describes the values the author, Bill Roddy, learned in the 1960s and 70s coming of age in inner city Chicago. His grandfather moved the family from their farm in rural Arkansas to Chicago in the early 1960s. They brought the same work ethic, family values, and self-reliant consciousness with them to Chicago.

Bill's grandfather taught him many life lessons that eventually guided his entire life and led him to become aware of his life's purpose, and to carry out that purpose by mentoring young men in these positive life values through a non-profit Bill co-founded, Osiris Organization, Inc.
