The story behind this AMAZING photo of young Nigel

As the march for justice was just beginning in downtown St. Louis, photojournalist Koran Addo took what may be the most powerful image of the entire #FergusonOctober weekend.

About a block ahead of the crowd, young Nigel, doing what young boys do, darted across the street when his mother and grandmother yelled at him to wait.

At that exact moment, Koran, a higher education reporter for the St. Louis Dispatch, snapped this iconic image.

“His grandmother nearly cried when I showed it to her,” said Koran.
