Canisius College Presents The Three Doctors In Honor Of Black History Month BUFFALO, NY – Canisius College presents the nationally-known motivational speaking trio, the Three Doctors, on Friday, February 18, from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. at Zion Dominion Global Ministries, 895 North Forest Road, Williamsville. The event, sponsored by the college’s Academic Talent Search Program, is free and open to the public. The Three Doctors – Drs. Sampson Davis, Rameck Hunt and George Jenkins – will share their inspirational stories of the pact they made as inner-city youth to help one another overcome major obstacles in order to reach their goals to become doctors. Davis, Hunt and Jenkins grew up without fathers in the streets of Newark, and know firsthand the pressures and struggles of life in the inner city. Today, the Three Doctors spread their positive messages about the importance of education and healthy living to youth across the country. Davis is a board-certified emergency medicine physician at St. Michaels Medical Center and Raritan Bay Medical Center in New Jersey. Hunt is a board-certified internist at University Medical Center at Princeton, and assistant professor of medicine at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School.

Davis, Hunt and Jenkins are authors of the New York Times best seller The Pact: Three Young Men Make a Promise and Fulfill a Dream; the children’s version, We Beat the Street: How a Friendship Pact Led to Success; and most recently The Bond: Three Young Men Learn to Forgive and Reconnect with Their Fathers. The Three Doctors have appeared on Oprah, The View and in magazine features in People, Essence and Readers Digest. They received the prestigious Essence Award in 2000.
