Photo and text by a native Detroiter who works in the city and contributes occasionally to Deadline Detroit. His byline name is a pseudonym.

The message of this photo and composition is that all life is precious, no matter the color of the individual. Everyone has a contribution that will aid in solving the problems that plague this planet both large and small.
But one cannot provide an idea that will affect positive change without the proper education.
Is my life less important because I do not look like you? Are my ideas lessened by the color of my skin?
When ignoring a people because of their race, religion or creed, you dismiss the symbiotic relationship between all people.
It is a fact that ours is a co-dependent relationship. At some place in time, in the not-too-distant future, you will need my help no matter how dire the situation. At that very moment, the education of the person who stumbles upon you will be of vital importance.
Will I matter then?
