BLACK POLICE OFFICER WHO SERVED ON AN ALL WHITE POLICE FORCE FOR 20 YEARS IS NOW A HIGH SCHOOL MENTOR 

Nationwide  -- When he was just 10-years old,  Sammie Lee Hill from Richmond, California says that an angel visited him and told him that he had a purpose in this life. The voice told him to go out and help and encourage others in need. He heard that voice and never questioned it.

As an African American boy born into poverty and extreme tragedy, he never allowed his horrific circumstances to hijack his mission in life.

First, serving on an all-white police force for 20 years, he endured extreme prejudice and was constantly mocked and ridiculed. But he continued on serving and protecting, and was loved by many.

After 20 years, he was offered the job of his dreams to be a counselor at the very high school he attended.
