"There are so many positive things going on in our neighborhoods that receive inadequate attention, that it gives me great pleasure to be a part of the Heroes series." - Blair Underwood
Dr. Benjamin S. Carson, Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at John Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, Maryland. This segment traces Dr. Carson's humble beginnings as a young man with a dream and how that dream was almost derailed by poverty, and as Dr. Carson states, "his pathological temper." Dr. Carson also reveals how he overcame peer pressure and focused his attention on becoming a pioneer in the field of medicine. This spiritual giant details how God changed his life and guides his "Gifted Hands" during critical surgical procedures. Dr. Carson is the author of the best-selling book, "Gifted Hands," as well as his newest release, "The Big Picture." Every young person who has ever faced a spiritual emptiness, a lack of self-esteem or self-worth, needs to witness this in-depth look at Dr. Carson's journey to success.

Flowers, Christian Methodist Episcopal Church, River Rouge, Michigan
