The teenager who saved a man with an SS tattoo

From BBC news:

In 1996, a black teenager protected a white man from an angry mob who thought he supported the racist Ku Klux Klan.

When Keshia Thomas was at a rally to protest the KKK in Ann Arbor, Michigan, the crowd spotted a man in a Confederate Flag shirt with an SS tattoo. Suspecting him of being a Klan member, members of the crowd chased him down and began  hitting him with signs.

It was unclear whether the man was a Ku Klux Klan supporter, but to the anti-KKK protesters, his clothes and tattoos represented exactly what they had come to resist. The Confederate flag he wore was for them a symbol of hatred and racism, while the SS tattoo on his arm pointed to a belief in white supremacy, or worse.

So the teenager, then still at high school, threw herself on top of a man she did not know and shielded him from the blows.

…

For Mark Brunner, a student photographer who witnessed the episode, it was who she saved that made Thomas’ actions so remarkable.

“She put herself at physical risk to protect someone who, in my opinion, would not have done the same for her,” he says. “Who does that in this world?”

More on her story here.

She’s a better person than I’ll ever be, because I would have let him burn.

We remember and see you, Keshia.
