Pearson Media Group Sponsor’s Frank Douglas’ Empowering Testimonial of Surviving Racism and Cultural Prejudice

Pearson Media Group is one of the most reputable and trusted global networks for independent film production and film concept agency. Their success has skyrocketed over the last years and they plan to take on new heights this 2020 by working with top cinematographers in bringing various authors’ laudable works, such as this one, to television screens.
 
Douglas is confident to honestly lay out his unpleasant experiences and how he chose to act when faced with beatings, family problems, homelessness, outright racism, and political intimidation.

From growing up in poverty to achieving success in science, medicine, and leadership, Dr. Frank L. Douglas has lived a life based on values, hard work, and self-control. “Defining Moments of a Free Man from a Black Stream” is a memoir on the events and people that made him into the man he is. It chronicles the journey of a young black man growing up in abject poverty in a small South American country and rising to become one of the world’s preeminent scientists.
 
Struggling with his faith and identity, Douglas decided to control his future through grit and hard work. He follows the road less traveled and has moments of defiance here and there that are enough to make ripples of change in a bigoted world. Intimate and honest, incisive, and searching, the book tells of self-determination and blazing your path in a narrow-minded society.
 
Our heritage is shaped by our hearts and hands. We cannot decide our birth but we get to make our destiny. The book shows the hardships Douglas went through in his life and the tenacity required of him to push through. This intellectual book is a must-read for students and aspiring professionals especially those in the medical field.
 
Anyone fortunate enough to have read the book would have the privilege of understanding an ageless lesson about the human condition: that our character is the legacy we leave behind. They can also glean lessons on how to build their own character and become progressive individuals ready to conquer challenges.
