Les Brown is truly an inspiration! He had no formal education past high school. What he did have was persistence and determination. He was born in a low-income area of Miami, Florida. Les and his twin brother were adopted when they were six weeks old. Ms. Maime Brown, a single parent , who had little education become his mom. Here is a man who truly has achieved success!
