SHEFFIELD, Ala. (AP) - A black woman was trying to juggle a sleeping infant and a pile of paperwork at an Alabama doctor’s office when a white man offered to help.
Al.com reported Monday that Natasha Crittenden Wilson photographed the moment between the two strangers and posted it online where it was viewed more than 1.3 million times. Wilson’s post says the woman was trying to figure what to do when the man approached and offered to hold the baby.
It says the “man went over there and rocked and loved on that baby like he was his!!” Identified by family as Joe Hale, the man is seen happily cradling the baby while the woman sits nearby. It says “racism is still VERY real in our society today BUT THIS MAN GAVE ME HOPE.”
