The Journey of Lesra Martin and the "Hurricane" Carter Connection

In this powerful and inspiring program, motivational speaker Lesra Martin relates his remarkable odyssey from ghetto teen to international celebrity. Together with Sam Chaiton and Terry Swinton, who "adopted" Lesra and later penned Lazarus and the Hurricane; former boxer Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, whose book The Sixteenth Round set Lesra on the path to literacy; and family members, Lesra talks with humility and grace about his relationship with Carter, whom he helped exonerate of a triple-murder conviction; achieving his dream of becoming a lawyer; and other milestones. Also, he shares his sadness for the untimely deaths of two of his brothers. Grateful for past opportunities, today Lesra spreads his message of hope to thousands. (47 minutes)
