Inspirational courage of black teenager who saved Nazi-tattooed man at KKK march from angry mob (Photos)

This amazing image of humanity and selflessness was taken in Ann Arbor, Michigan, during clashes between the Ku Klux Klan and anti-clan protesters in June 1996. It is an image of a black teenage girl shielding a supposed white supremacist from an angry mob. 

In June 1996 the Klan held a rally outside the city hall with a small group of Klansmen dressed in white robes and hoods. Police dressed in riot gear and armed with tear gas were also present to protect the Klansmen from an estimated 300 people protesting against them. While the peaceful protest was going on, a large crowd of anti-clan protesters spotted a man with an SS tattoo and a confederate flag T-shirt and identified him as a probable Klansman; then a woman with a megaphone shouted, "There's a Klansman in the crowd." In a split second the crowd turned from peaceful protesters into an angry mob baying for blood.

Touching Video: A companion to the forgotten.

Today being Good Friday, and the week of the remembrance of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, what are you doing to live a Christ-like life?

How are you showing love to those in need of it? How are you living according to the word of God about giving? 

I'm not referring to giving to your pastors or lovers here, rather, i'm referring to giving to those in need, bearing your neighbor's burden, sharing the little you have with those that have nothing....

The bible ordered us to give to the needy and less privileged in our society....
In Proverbs 22:9 - Whoever has a bountiful eye will be blessed, for he shares his bread with the poor.

1st John 3:17-18 But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.

Proverbs 14:31 Whoever oppresses a poor man insults his maker, but he who is generous to the needy honors him.

Isaiah 58:10 If you pour yourself out for the hungry and satisfy the desire of the afflicted, then shall your light rise in the darkness and your gloom be as the noonday.

Proverbs 28:27 Whoever gives to the poor will not want, but he who hides his eyes will get many a curse.

There is a gratification and a blessing that goes with giving, one does not need to be a christian for them to give because we have all got 5.5 litres of blood running through our vains and we are all human. 

Below is a touching video of a selfless man. Happy viewing and Happy Good Friday!
