Mississippi Moving
The Mississippi is a moving grocery store. Just one tow boat pushes 160-thousand acres of grain into the world. So, the river has to be controlled.
From Slavery to Friendship
A rare American story that began in slavery and blossomed into friendship. There is nothing sentimental about slavery, but this is a story unique in our history. In 1834 a white family bought a black family. At the end of the Civil War something special happened that set them together against the grain of the time.
Bonds of Love
Jeff Wright is one of those teachers students never forget. More show than tell. Exploding with fun. His science classes at Louisville Male Highschool in Kentucky are filled with odd experiments. Surprisingly, it is a lecture without props that leaves a lasting impression. The talk is about Wright’s son Adam. Born with a rare combination of genes that only about 450 people in the world have. It is a lesson on the meaning of life.
“These are remarkable and poignant stories that need to be told.”

“Those of us who know and work with Bob Dotson stand in awe of his gifts as a writer. Like the work so many viewers have come to love on NBC, this collection of stories captivates and inspires.”
- SAVANNAH GUTHRIE
“Throughout his remarkable career Bob Dotson has searched for the real essence of America – not by interviewing the so-called famous but by seeking out those unnoticed people we pass by every day. Dotson is a national treasure for caring enough to listen.”
