Invisible man, got the whole world watching : a young Black man's education (2016)  

by Mychal Denzel Smith

How do you learn to be a black man in America? For young black men today, it means coming of age during the presidency of Barack Obama; witnessing the deaths of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, and too many more. Smith chronicles his own personal and political education during these tumultuous years, describing his efforts to come into his own in a world that denied his humanity.  224 pages

Mychal Denzel Smith is a freelance journalist, often published in The Nation, The Atlantic, the New York Times, the Washington Post, Harper's and more. Smith's website includes some of his recent articles. 

Invisible Man, Got the Whole World Watching was nominated for an NAACP Image Award for "Outstanding Literary Work - Biography/Autobiography" in 2017.  His more recent book Stakes is High (2020) won the 2020 Kirkus Prize for Nonfiction.
