Al Mayes Barbering AMB

The Barbershop remains the
cornerstone for African American Culture.
It's a place where you can engage each
other as peers, where nothing is out of
bounds for conversation and where the
concept of discovering history and culture
goes on. This form of dialogue has served
as a social, cultural and political tradition in
our communities. The Barbershop's
symbolism and social activity has greater
informative, social and bonding precedence
than the black church, schools or black
radio. Barbershops create an unbiased
space to express yourself, on a peer level, in
which educational degree or stature is not
required. Everyone has the floor to speak his
or her opinion. 65% of African American
households are led by single women so it's
clear that this type of male bonding is
exclusive and paramount. Barbers are
mentors, positive adult role models, and
community champions! artist: b. Robert
