A teen who spent 10 hours cleaning up after a protest is rewarded with a car and a college scholarship

Heartwarming! Bravo to teenager Antonio Gwynn Jr. and those who rewarded him.

"When Antonio Gwynn Jr. saw the damage from protests in his hometown of Buffalo, New York, he grabbed a broom, bought some trash bags and started cleaning the streets by himself.

""He started at 2 a.m. on Monday and did not stop cleaning for the next 10 hours. When an organized group of neighbors arrived later that morning to start clearing the damage, they found that Gwynn had already done most of the work.

"Gwynn is an 18-year-old high school senior. He told CNN that he saw on the local news that Bailey Avenue in Buffalo was covered in glass and garbage, and he knew people needed to use that street to get to work in the morning.

"When word spread of how Gwynn single-handedly took action, his community responded."

I have heard many protesters are cleaning up after their events even when someone else did the damage. It is wonderful that this young man was rewarded. Thanks to that wonderful fake news site, CNN, more people will know about it.

Wonderful! He obviously didn’t do it expecting a reward. That’s the kind of people we need in our world

Nice to read something good for a change. Thanks for sharing.

I agree - it's refreshing, and quite needed right now.
