Saw this while watching Degrassi. This is a mini-series that will air on The N in 2005. It is based on the book by Jacqueline Woodson. Directors of episodes include Spike Lee, Bill Duke, and LeVar Burton.



Miracle's Boys revolves around three half-Puerto Rican, half-African-American, orphaned teenage brothers living in Harlem, NY and their struggle to hold their family together. The drama reflects the everyday lives of the Bailey brothers : Lafayette (14 years old), Charlie (16 years old) and Ty'ree (20 years old), whose beloved mother, Milagros (Spanish for 'Miracle'), has recently died and whose father is also deceased. Miracle's Boys is also the story of Harlem and the many ways the boys are impacted by their community, friends and their school. The brother's world revolves around everyday life, the school that Lafayette and Charlie attend, Ty'ree's job, and their block of apartment buildings where everyone knows everyone's business. But, the Bailey brothers live together as a family on a trial basis -- one false move and all will be lost. Miracle's Boys is a series reflecting the humor and drama of their everyday lives as they struggle to hold their new family together.

I saw this also. It looks like it will be GREAT!! Hopefully they will put it on Fridays right after DeGrassi so that I can remember to watch. Either way, I will find it. It's a cool story and I am happy to see the N feature an African-American family.
