Melinda Ginne, Signs and Symptoms
A look back at the career of a psychologist from one of the first patients she ever saw to one of the last. Some lessons take time to be learned.

Samir Saad, Transitions
Samir lived in New York City for a while… and loved it! Good money and good friends, but the weather in summer and winter was horrible. So Samir moves to Oakland, California, and settled into a weather agreeable all year around and MAGIC happens!

Linda Wright, The Spirit of Fanny Lou Hamer
Do you know what it was like to grow up in Mississippi in the early 1900's poorer than dirt? How did a child feel, raised in miserable poverty, crushed by injustice and cruelty? Fannie Lou discovered her breakthrough and turned her freedom into a rallying cry for the entire world: "Nobody's Free until Everybody's Free."
