Triumph Over Adversity
March 23, 2017 @ 6:00 pm - 7:15 pm
A look at two Black men whose lives and acts of human courage impacted a generation, how they broke through the issues of oppression that barred their way, and their rise to the top of their fields.
Maui resident, Heather Salmon will lecture on the African Diaspora and the lives of her late father Dr. John Douglas Salmon, and Uncle David V. J. Bell, PhD.
Dr. Salmon was Canada’s first black surgeon, and Bell was a Dean, author and leader in the sustainability movement. They were also musicians and family men. Both lost parents when they were children and went on to rise to the tops of their fields. This lecture and video presentation reveals the pioneering breakthroughs and accomplishments. Ms. Salmon will share stories about their lives and acts of human courage.
Heather Salmon is a renowned sound healer, ordained priestess, cultural creative innovator and recording artist.
