The Stories They Hear

Expecting Greatness as the Key to Success

About this book

The Stories They Hear is a profound testament to the power of mentorship and the impact one visionary program has had on America's best and brightest African American male college students.

Through the Institute for Responsible Citizenship, Dr. Bill Keyes has transformed the lives of over 300 young men, including Rhodes Scholars, Fulbright Scholars, doctors, lawyers, professors, and community leaders. Founded in 2003, the Institute has helped these men achieve remarkable success, nurturing their talents and instilling values of resilience, respect, and service.

This book offers readers an intimate glimpse into the Institute's life-changing experiences. Each chapter is filled with personal stories and valuable lessons shared by Dr. Keyes with his scholars over two decades. Key insights include identifying one's gifts, using influence responsibly, and practicing resilience in the face of adversity. These stories, once shared in a Washington DC conference room, now invite readers to be inspired by the guidance that has shaped these young men into leaders and role models.

The Stories They Hear is an inspiring guide for mentors, educators, and anyone invested in helping young people unlock their potential to create a legacy that empowers future generations.
