Ahmad Daniels joined the Marine Corps at the age of 17. He loved boot camp and the challenging training. It was after training when he was in the South that he experienced racism/white supremacy when, on a Sunday morning, he walked into what he did not know was an all-white church and was told to leave. I should add that I was in uniform. That encounter placed me on a trajectory that months later would find me sentenced by the Marine Corps to 10 years in jail. The rest is history.
