A man was both shocked and comforted when an elderly stranger paid for his groceries, just because.
Sampson McCormick was standing in line at a grocery store on July 20 when a stranger approached him. He shared the story of their meeting on Facebook.
"I was at the grocery store today and this old, white man (Mr. Samuel) walked up to me in line, apologized for racism and police brutality in this country and paid for my groceries," he said.
The moment surprised him.
"He handed me the receipt, gave me a fist bump and said 'black lives do matter,'" he said. "Just a random moment of solidarity and love that made my day."
Sampson’s Facebook post chronicling the moment has been shared more than 22,000 times.
