In celebration of the 90th year of the Moorland-Spingarn

Dr. Claybrooks was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. He grew
up on the west side of the city, which had its share of drugs and
violence. He grew up seeing many things, but one thing that he did
not see was success being the result of the neighborhood activities.
He was not exactly sure of where he wanted to go, but he was definitely
sure of where he did not want to end up. Even though Dr. Claybrooks
has reached his goal of becoming a surgeon he has not forgotten those
that he left behind. He has attempted to reach back through this
book that is filled with the lessons that he has learned along the
way. |
