In this episode Lou and Teresa have a conversation with Robert Dortch. Mr. Dortch climbed Mount Kilimanjaro to the highest point, Uhuru Peak! He did this by himself. Robert tells Lou and Teresa all about the experience.
About 30,000 people attempt to climb the mountain each year. Of that number, approximately 300 (1%) of them are African-American. The journey is so rigorous that some people have to turn back before reaching the peak due to altitude sickness. About 10 people a year die on the mountain when trying to complete the climb.
Mr. Dortch finds himself in rare company. Listen in to hear his determination, bravery, and resilience. It is quite a story, you don’t want to miss this one.
