It's been exactly one year since that historic election night and it seems that many things are in flux. But we couldn't help but wonder: What's on the minds of our young brothers and how have their lives changed with Obama at the helm.

We made our way to Harlem, New York City, to find out. Keep clicking--you'll be surprised at the responses.

Check out what they had to say.

I know what it means. It means no more damn excuses. No more abandoning your seed just because you don't get along with your baby momma. It means marrying your baby momma and putting a ring on it. It means getting an education beyond high school. It means not blaming the man for our own failures. That's what it mean.
