Mamoudou Gassama, A 22-year Old Black Man From Mali, Without Hesitation Scaled Four Stories Of A Paris

Mamoudou Gassama, a 22-year old Black man from Mali, without hesitation scaled four stories of a Paris building to save a toddler facing certain death. Mamoudou is an undocumented immigrant. He knew getting caught would mean deportation. 

But instead, France has a new hero. President Macron thanked him, granted him French citizenship plus a job at the French fire brigade.

Shout out to Mamoudou Gassama!

During the Great Depression, there was a group of “book women” who delivered books, regardless of weather, to rural communities in Kentucky. These women would ride up to 120 miles every week on horseback, traversing dangerous terrain, to ensure that their readers received their books on time.
