Interesting. I worked with a “lost boy” who was a nurses aide in the ICU at pittsburgh’s Mercy hospital back in 2002. I lost track of him after I entered grad school the following year. Nice kid. Hard worker, wanted to be a nurse. He bore terrible scars from being beaten in his home country. All of his family I think had been killed.

The African American community really needs to take a hard look at itself. I know that won’t happen but I keep praying their hearts will be opened. They’re behavior is shameful.

All lives matter.

Their.

I should also add back then I was a naiive 20-something. I had never heard of the “Lost Boy” thing and was quite ignorant of the plight of these people. The scars on this young man’s arms & neck were startling to me.

Hope he is doing well.
