I thought this was touching, a photo-essay about this guy with a triple-handicap: He's a refugee, he's black, and he's in a wheelchair. Still, he's trying to make a living selling newspapers, at 6th and 23rd, and he dresses up to convey "dignity and resourcefulness."

No offense, calling being Black a "handicap" is extremely racist. Racism is certainly a factor in life, but that choice of words is a little insulting to those of us with Black heritage.

That being said, I wish him all the best and he's another reason our immigration system should be fixed. Good man trying to make his way in a harsh world
