A Black teenage boy walked into the bank wearing worn-out sneakers and a backpack held together by safety pins. The manager smirked the moment he saw him—right up until the boy slid his debit card across the counter. Thirty seconds later, the entire lobby fell silent. The manager’s smile vanished.

Not the boy people underestimated.
