Lately it seems that all Marcus hears about his neighborhood is bad news. So he's not happy when he has to walk through the streets alone to get a haircut. And sure enough, by the time he reaches Mr. Jackson's barbershop, he's seen some sad things. He's even been knocked down. But Mr. Jackson and the other people in the shop view the neighborhood differently. After Marcus has heard what these wise folks have to say, his chin is up and he's ready to recognize the good news that is all around him. Kenneth Cole's moving story will inspire everyone to find good news.
