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.

Exchange A Service For A Hug, Help Someone & Make The World A Better Place Like Anthony Cymerys.

Today, i want to share a little story that inspires me a lot and makes me think really deep. It's about a treasure, an awesome and selfless man, who in his little way contributes greatly to lives and put smiles on people's faces.

I'm writing about an 82-years-old Anthony Cymerys in the above picture, who is also known as Joe the Barber. He began offering his service as a barber 25-years ago after he retired from a career in business.

Every Wednesdays, Anthony sets up a chair in the shade of an oak tree in Hartford's Bushnell Park. The homeless, longtime clients and those just passing by on luck had their haircut for just a token. The fee is always the same; A HUG FOR A HAIRCUT.

Isn't that just awesome? Now you understand why i called him a treasure. He is a rare gem and a treasure to our corrupt and selfish generation. Can you imagine what he exchanges for love? An hair cut.
