The pact three young men make a promise and fulfill a dream
George Jenkins, Sampson Davis and Rameck Hunt were three African American kids living in the inner city of Newark, all from broken homes, all living amid poverty, crime, and drug abuse. Two served time in juvenile detention centers. They met in high school and together they made a pact: they would support each other for as long as it would take for them to become doctors. Through an affirmative action program, they enrolled at Seton Hall University's premed program, from which they graduated in 1995. In May 1999, they graduated with degrees in medicine and dentistry. The Pact is an extraordinary testament to the power of male friendship.

- "Chosen by Essence to be among the forty most influential African Americans, the three doctors grew up in the streets of Newark, facing city life's temptations, pitfalls, even jail. But one day these three young men made a pact. They promised each other they would all become doctors, and stick it out together through the long, difficult journey to attaining that dream. Sampson Davis, George Jenkins, and Rameck Hunt are not only friends to this day -- they are all doctors. This is a story aboutthe power of friendship. Of joining forces and beating the odds. A story about changing your life, and the lives of those you love most ... together. -Back cover."
- "Three boys made a promise to be there for one another, to encourage one another, until they overcame all of the odds and became doctors. This is the story of their struggle to keep that promise, which led to success. It shows that Martin Luther King was right --when we "stand on the solid rock of brotherhood," remarkable things can happen."
