After not placing in his eighth-grade science fair, Tony Hansberry was determined to do better the following year. He got an idea from an administrator at Shands Hospital — where he’d interned — and in the ninth grade created a procedure that he presented to surgeons at a medical conference. Now a junior at a Darnell-Cookman Middle/High School of the Medical Arts, Hansberry said about his future, “I was looking at neurosurgery, but I’m keeping my options open. I know I want to be a physician, not just a surgeon.”

It is always a great thing to be able to tune into some news and read great things being accomplished by our youth.  So when ever that happens, that information needs to be shared.  As a matter of fact, it needs to over shadow the bad news that gets publicized all much too often.

So, with that in mind, check out and click on the images below that, which consists of 25 budding innovators, ages 16 to 21, that TheRoot.com has complied together. They are the young people, around the country, to watch if you want to know where America is heading. They are some of the reasons why President Obama must be voted again for another for years.
