Black families all over the world embark and rely on and recognize extensive kinship. This practice helps them to survive when there are scarce resources. It also helps to overcome the other survival threats. In "The Flats" in Chicago as captured by Carol Stack in her dissertation, just as in all African societies, kinship is very pivotal to life and survival. People rely on their kins to climb the social ladder and to get out of poverty. The concept of "Boyerism" survives today based on kinship.
