I love the first photo. It's one of great pride and joy. Joe Martins reached out to this kid at a time of deep segregation. The bicycle story is unbelievable. Thank God for the Joe Martins of this world. He invested in a young boy and helped prosper his life, family, community, country and world. There are still lots of good police officers out there.
