Ibn Ali, the courageous man who made national headlines when a video of him breaking up a fight between two teenage boys went viral, is being recognized for his heroic efforts.
According to NBC Philadelphia, Ali is being recognized by Atlantic City Council for his peace keeping efforts. A move that brought the father of five to tears. During his acceptance speech, Ali spoke through his tears thanking his mother for raising him to be the man he is today.
When I was young I grew up in the projects. When I would get on punishment she would make me read books. I’m crying because this whole situation deeply saddens me. The fact that it’s unbelievable. This should be very believable. This should be a norm and it should be regular.”
Indeed this should be the norm but until men and women courageously step up like Ali it won’t be.
