3: Co-founders of Brooklyn's Bedford Stuyvesant Volunteer Ambulance Corp. JAMES "ROCKY" ROBINSON and JOE PEREZ. They began the corp in 1988, after watching people die because the Ambulances responded too slowly to calls. (There are 39 volunteer ambulance corps in New York City). They are the focus of a new "The American Promise" PBS documentary. (The program premiered October 1).
