# Brookings Institution Report: Men and Boys of Color

Earlier this week, the Brookings Institution released a report that examined, in great detail, the well-being of boys and men of color. It examined several issues. Longevity, well-being, structural conditions and systems, and social and human development. It also included all men and boys of color, not just African-Americans. We peel back the layers of this report and talk about possible solutions to the problems it reveals.
