Meet Victor Jackson. The year is 1918 and Victor has no family. He’s an orphan at the Dorsey Home for Dependent Colored Children. You might say the cards are stacked against Victor. But he doesn’t mind…

That Night in the Subway Tunnel: “We felt we were being followed”
Saturday, October 29th, 2011

I refuse to go within 100 yards of any of the entrances because of the strong spiritual pressure I feel going there…”
