A Story of Courage, Faith, and the Power of Love Against All Odds. Heroes aren’t born; they are shaped by adversity. In the midst of racial tension and societal challenges of the 1970s, Pat and BJ Magley defied the odds.

By the time he died he was a founder of the University of the West Indies and a Jamaican senator.
