“Astonishing, tear-jerking,
 and thought provoking!”
The Janitor’s Sons is a chilling and extraordinary inside
look at urban life in America, and its suburban
contrast. Gregory Collier tells the incredible true story
of two brothers raised amongst the broad spectrum of
social classes in Detroit, Michigan, and its posh
suburbs. It is a story of agony and ecstasy, crime and
punishment, and choices that can impact one’s entire
life.
As the picture fades to black, so too have our lives moved further apart. I
        chose one path; you chose another. Our silhouettes will ultimately
disappear, leaving just a blur. Yet our stories will last forever, chiseled in
   the stone wall of destiny. I have a hammer, a chisel, and blisters on my
   hands. I am weary, but I am proud ― I’m carving my destiny in stone.
                                 You must carve yours too; everyone must!

                                                         ―Gregory Collier
The Janitor’s Sons is part of The Collier Project to
help young black males achieve at high levels.
However, anyone who reads this book will be
inspired and benefit. In fact, The Janitor’s Sons is
a road map to success. If black males fail to
improve upon many negative trends, America
is in jeopardy. We are all in this together; we are
inextricably linked! God help us all!
