Estero, FL Doctor & Author Publishes Memoir about Being a Physician

By: PR Leap
(PRLeap.com) Race and Healing: Autobiography of an Urban Black Physician, a new book by Dr. Harcourt G. Harris, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

This book is about a young black man wanting to be accepted into the medical profession- a world dominated by white people. He explores the obstacles encountered along the way while he was growing up, getting an education, and eventually being accepted into the medical profession. Harcourt's story started with his mother, an immigrant from Barbados, an island in the Caribbean. She had the equivalent of a grade school education and fought to get Harcourt and his sister the best education available. His message is relevant because it allows young black children to realize that they can succeed through hard work and ignoring racism.
