I don't know which Black youths the author is referring to, but both my sons are voracious readers. Even though the baby is only 2, he's forever bringing me books to read to him, and my other son enjoys his weekly outings to the library, sometimes checking out the whole 9 books allowed on his ticket.

I think children lead by example, and because books feature so heavily in my house they're readily available.

That said, my Mum isn't a great book reader, with Dad it's non-existent and neither are either of my brothers read, but my sister & I prefer books to records/music.....
