- Brian knows he shouldn't walk this way, in fact his white wife strongly urged against it. Yet even with his knowledge of what could possible happened to him. He still had a strong heart and was not ready to back down to any form of racism. He had to be at work by 9:00 and he was not gonna let his family down.
