Keshia Thomas

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

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

Keshia Thomas was 18 when she stepped in to defend a man who might not have done the same for her.

What happened next has acted as an inspiration for other people ever since.
