- Tropical Storm Allison came ashore late one June afternoon in 2001, and then stalled for hours. As it sat hovering above Houston, Texas, the storm dumped torrential rains, creating the worst flood in the city's history. The storm caused billions in damage and took the lives of twenty-nine people. In an unprecedented effort, every television in station Houston agreed to simulcast the One United Houston program. Hosted by Clint Black and Lisa Hartman Black, who performed in separate sets, the program also included live performances by La Mafia, Yolanda Adams, Pat Greene, Lyle Lovett and others. The program included a showing of the documentary "The Night the Rains Came," which provided a dramatic look at the people whose lives were devastated that night. In addition to raising $3.5 million for the benefit of the flood victims, the documentary went on to win a national Emmy Award.
- Emmy® Award winner Allen Morris captures the emotional conflict of denying one's heritage and faith while coming to terms with a world that allowed the unspeakable. Born in Poland, one of seven children in a Jewish family; taken by the Nazis and forced to dig mass graves to hold the bodies of his murdered neighbors; assuming the identity of a Catholic boy who gave him a birth certificate - this is a story of redemption, guilt, hate and survival. It is a story about how one man lost his entire family, journeyed through hell and managed to start a new life in a strange land. This is the story of how circumstances changed one man's destiny, the remarkable story of William J. Morgan; one man who lived four lives, surviving the horror of the Holocaust and finding love through forgiveness and devotion. It is also the story of the fulfilling the American Dream. Here is a man, who after enduring the four years hiding from the Nazis, emigrated to America and started a new life. This is a life that brought him another family, wealth and position within his community. It also brought him a greater understanding of God's purpose for his life and set him on the road to fulfill that purpose by building a 'house of love,' The Houston Holocaust Museum. This legacy stands as a monument to the millions who died in concentration camps, that we should remember the dead and honor the living.
- Emil J Freireich was child from the streets of Chicago who started college at the age of sixteen with $25 given by a friend of his mother; began medical school at eighteen; and helped discover the cure for childhood leukemia before he was forty. During the span of his career, the man whose ambition was to become the most famous family doctor in the world, instead became the man who championed the cause of clinical research to alleviate the suffering of thousands of cancer victims. His story is told by his wife of over fifty years, several colleagues (many of whom were also among the thousands of students he has trained), and in his own words. Emmy Award winner Allen Morris crafts an intimate portrait detailing the humanity of one of the world's most influential, charismatic and dedicated medical pioneers.
