As Pharrell’s “Happy” becomes an irresistible global soundtrack, President Obama pledges to be My Brother’s Keeper http://www.whitehouse.gov/my-brothers-keeper, and foundations invest millions of dollars into programs for Black men, Peter J. Harris’ new book, The Black Man of Happiness: In Pursuit of My ‘Unalienable Right,’ is a jazzy journal that ranges in scope from Thomas Jefferson’s era to the Digital Age in search of the answer to the simple, startling question, What is a happy Black man?

The book is a publication of Peter J. Harris’ Black Man of Happiness Project, a creative, intellectual and artistic exploration of Black men and joy. 

What is a happy Black man? The Project explores African American life and history from a refreshing new angle: through the lens of happiness of the men whose survival, let alone joy, has never been a national priority.
