In July 1978, Dr. Wilbert Williams Jr. was standing on a street
corner in Brooklyn, New York, afraid for his life. It had been less
than three months since he was awarded a medical degree from Albany
Medical College in upstate New York; yet there he was-enduring
racial slurs from a group of angry white people who hated him
simply because of the color of his skin. Even as the police stood
guarding him, the group continued to taunt him with the words, "He
can go back where he came from."
In his poignant memoir, Williams narrates the story of how he
beat overwhelming odds, as an African American youth growing up in
a public housing project in Brooklyn, New York, to eventually
become a physician. While chronicling a journey that took him from
the streets of New York through the challenges of medical school to
the beautiful Caribbean island of St. Croix, he details how he
learned to prevail over racism, anxiety, and depression in order to
achieve his dream of becoming a doctor.
Dr. Williams's inspiring story offers motivation to soar over
the challenges of life and reach for the stars.
