The Story Behind this Powerful Photo of a Black Boy Hugging a White Cop at a Ferguson Demonstration

Amidst the many photos of hate, anger, sadness and sometimes outright destruction that have flooded the media since a grand jury decided not to indict Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson, sparking riots and protests across the US, there are glimmers of hope and humanity.

One such glimmer was captured by Oregon-based freelance photographer Jonny Nguyen at a Ferguson demonstration in Portland earlier this week.

I was wrong DS... the MSM did pick up this pic but not until it went hyper viral. Now it's all over the place and rightfully so.

I hear ya... these ladies have done a wonderful job raising Devonte. And I don't care that they are lesbians! Love is love and it has no boundaries!

DS... I have to admit that this boys story has made me a bit weepy tonight :( But what an inspirational story that we all can learn a thing or two from. He is truly an old soul who has wisdom and truth to share. I don't even know this kid but I love him!!!
