African American pioneers in medicine overcame great barriers to make significant contributions to the field. Following in their footsteps, Dr. Edward Cornwell III, Surgeon-in-Chief of Howard University Hospital in Washington DC, faces unique challenges to have a lasting, positive impact on his students, patients and community.  This documentary explores Dr. Cornwell’s family upbringing, mentors, education and other guiding forces which led to his successful career.
