Recently, I had the extraordinary honor of having my portrait hung on the walls of the Hall of Honor in the legendary Martin Luther King Jr. International Chapel on the campus of my alma mater, Morehouse College. I was humbled beyond words. The honor was not simply about a painting on a wall — it was about a story. A story that began with an opportunity. An opportunity given to a young man from Baltimore to study at a place that believed in his potential before America did. That single opportunity changed the trajectory of my life.
