Kudos to this young black man & his dad Mr. Okafor
With Heart Filled with Love and Loss, Duke's Jahlil Okafor Ready for Spotlight
Man get nuff bashing for not being involved, but Okafor's father has done an excellent JOB
When he finally realized it wasn't a prank—when it was obvious his mother, Dee, could hardly breathe—Jahlil Okafor ran from his living room and into the street, screaming for an ambulance.
Okafor knew he couldn't use the phone inside, which was out of service. And at nine years old he was too young to have his own cell. So as his mom lay gasping from a bronchitis attack on the living room floor, Okafor sprinted to his neighbor's house and pounded on the door.
