“Malachi was excited to start school all summer long. After we had enrolled him he was excited, everyday it was the question, ‘mom are we going to school?’” said Malachi’s mother, April Wilson.

My son has long hair. Most people assume he is a girl. One white kid kicked him for no reason when they were in a jumpy house. The mother pulled her son out quick tho.

Parents sometimes ask me why I have his hair long, like I need to give them a reason.
