Dr. Paul represented the Wingmen Show at the OBAP (Organization of Black Aviation Professionals) at their annual conference held this year in Memphis, Tennessee, and sponsored by FedEx. This annual conference is open to all and serves as a gathering point for those interested in any of the vast array of career opportunities that are available in the airline industry right now and in the foreseeable future.
One of the most touching aspects of the conference was the special recognition given to the first seven black pilots hired by a small company known as Federal Express that grew to become a global giant in the cargo transportation industry. Of the seven aviators, the four pilots still living, were present at the airing of this mini documentary. In this Biopic, the founder of Federal Express, Mr. Fred Smith gave a comprehensive historical narrative on the need to open opportunities for employment without regard to racial background or other limiting factors in order to expedite the long term development of his burgeoning aviation company.
Heman Bekele, a young man we featured some time ago for his development of a special soap to combat skin cancer has been named Time Magazine’s, Kid of The Year and has teamed up with researchers at the Bloomberg School of Public Health at John’s Hopkins University to get his treatment approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and made available to the outside world.
The recent passing of the one-time, most listened-to daytime talk show hosts, Phil Donahue was noted by the wingmen as his show watched daily by millions. Commander Drew was the star of his show, not once but twice, that helped propel his motivational speaking career throughout the United States. This show you are listen to or watching, the Wingmen Show Podcast is an offshoot of what he has been doing in front of of large audiences for decades.
Listen to the story of a whole town full of wingmen who adopted dozens of children who had nowhere to go.
