Mini & me

Michael 'Mini' Cooper knew he was different from an early age.

Fiercely independent, he challenged injustice and questioned what he perceived to be the irrational belief systems of both parents and teachers alike.

But no one wanted to listen and they didn't want him heard.

After several failed attempts at beating him into submission, he fought back with devastating consequences.

Michael Cooper didn't always know the truth but he understood the lie.

Some have described him as a warrior of justice but for him it was always about the human spirit and the right to let breathe freely.
