FEATURING LESRA MARTIN
Lesra Martin was once an inner city kid dismissed by society, yet his heart carried hope and courage. He effected profound change in the lives of many, including his own. “Young Lazarus,” Coretta Scott King once noted, “will win your heart.”
Lesra Martin’s heartrending story has mesmerized and inspired millions through the major Hollywood feature The Hurricane. Its star, Denzel Washington, marveled over Lesra’s real life odyssey from a poorly educated Brooklyn teen to a respected prosecutor with university degrees. For more information on Lesra, please visit www.celebritylectureagency.com.
