Gaye Adegbalola with Ian B Walters, "It's Alright for A Man to Cry," Common Ground, MD, Summer 2012

This is one of Gaye's favorite songs. She wrote it to her son saying to him that, as a young black man, often in order to survive you have to turn and walk away -- sometimes even cry -- to avoid the perils of confrontation when standing up and speaking up.
