Black men don't always get the recognition they deserve for the roles they play in our families and communities.

Brandon Williamson is a shining example of such a man, and when his wife, Porsche Williamson posted a video of her son taking time out of his birthday party to present his stepfather with a formal proposition to adopt him, there wasn't a dry eye around.

That young man said, "you have been here for everything, all my school programs and parent-teacher conferences, all my sports, every time I'm sick."
