A Navigator on the River of Life

Dr. Charles Drew  1904 – 1950

Dr. Charles Richard Drew: scientist, Civil Rights activist, physician and humanitarian.

Listen as he tells you about his great exploits as a young athlete, only to hear later in life that “negro athletes were a dime a dozen.” Then listen to him as he goes through his metamorphosis from athlete to great scientist, surgeon and pioneer of the new techniques with blood plasma and the modern day blood bank. His scientific breakthroughs save millions of lives during World War II.
