June 14, 2010 - PRLog -- Meet Emmy Award Winning CBS Reporter Byron Pitts Byron Pitts seemed destined for failure. Diagnosed as functionally illiterate at age 12, he spent summers in a  single parent home in Apex and struggled with stuttering. And even after he overcame that and entered Ohio Wesleyan University, Pitts had a professor tell him he should quit because he wasn't cut out for college.

For all that, today Pitts is one of the most accomplished journalists in America - Chief National Correspondent for the CBS Evening News and a Contributing Correspondent for "60 Minutes." All it took was an immense amount of hard work and faith, aided by the kindness of strangers. Today he's a successful reporter and family man.

Pitts will tell his story and talk about his new book, "Step Out on Nothing: How Faith and Family Helped Me Conquer Life's Challenges" (St. Martin's Press, 304 pages, $24.99) at the Halle Cultural Arts Center of Apex. The Halle is located at 237 North Salem Street in Historic Downtown Apex, NC 27502.
