Brandon Rollins works at a grocery store, Ingles in North Carolina. This photo of him helping an elderly woman across the car park went viral after a customer, Bo Graf posted it on-line saying, "This is what America should be and hopefully this is the America of tomorrow!"
Bo approached Brandon to thank him and said Brandon, "acted like it was no big deal".
Later, after Brandon became famous because of the photo, he said, "It doesn't matter what ethnicity, religious belief - we're all the same. We're all one and we can help each other out. That's what people in the world need to see. We can come together as one. It doesn't mater your background."

Where are they? What are they doing?
explain the story
Why did Brandon help the elderly woman?
What do you notice about the differences between Brandon and the person he is helping?
How do you think the woman felt as Brandon helped her?
How do you think Brandon felt as he helped her?
Why did Bo say, "This is what America should be"?
Is Brandon right to say "We're all the same"? What does he mean? (actually we are not all the same, but we have respect for one another. In school we celebrate our differences and live and work along side each other despite those differences)
Why does Brandon say, "That's what people in the world need to see... it doesn't matter your background"?
What can we learn from Brandon?
What can we learn from this photo?
How does this fit into what we say about 'No Outsiders"?
