Research is often conducted that reports the effects of poor urban life and the various experiences one has in these economically deprived communities. Illegal activities, drugs, gambling, prostitution, inadequate teachers, and the lack of resources are normative for poor urban environments (Kiser, 2007; Murry et al., 2011). However, the stories of Black men who live in these environments are often untold and their perceptions and how those perceived stressors affect them are unknown.

520 $a Research is often conducted that reports the effects of poor urban life and the various experiences one has in these economically deprived communities. Illegal activities, drugs, gambling, prostitution, inadequate teachers, and the lack of resources are normative for poor urban environments (Kiser, 2007; Murry et al., 2011). However, the stories of Black men who live in these environments are often untold and their perceptions and how those perceived stressors affect them are unknown.
520 $a This exploratory study examines the lives of Black men growing up in the city of Detroit to better understand who they are and the stressors they were exposed to in the home, school and communities they lived in. Furthermore, the study will consider previous research that identifies urban stressors and how often these men are exposed to those stressors while ranking them, in a qualitative photo analysis, to give a better understanding of what is most stressful to them and the reasons why.
520 $a For the male participants the study found that the stressors mentioned in urban research are normative in the lives of those who live there yet there are different ways of interpreting those "stressors." When examining which stressors or themes were most relevant, for the Black males, the chaos or disorganization in the home, school, and community was easily identified and received higher points of exposure.
