Jesse Glover

Um, and he begins to identify with folks who he's meeting because he lives in a segregated section of Seattle, and he's there with poor white folks and with all of the folks of color in Seattle in the Central District.

Uh, so he's learning about racism from, uh, a young Black man named Jes- Jesse Glover, who's his first student, who is beaten within an inch of his life at the age of 12 by police.

Um, he's learning from Taki Kimura, who, uh, when he was 18 and about to, um, graduate with honors from his high school, is put on a train and sent to Tule Lake, uh, to, uh, an incarceration camp, um, just because of the, his nationality and his race.

And, and so he, Bruce is absorbing all of this, and this is what h- builds him into the person, the hero that he becomes.
