Summary

DeShawn Watts has always followed the rules and obeyed law enforcement for as long as he could remember. But why does a life in the suburbs with a loving wife, a beautiful daughter and a nice job feel so hollow whenever DeShawn talks to his jailbird brother, Darnell?


Respectability is a short story detailing the lives of Black Men and asking what it really means to be Free today in America.
