Fight & Resolution
Moment when Ibn Miller reasons with the two teens about fighting and violence.
On March 20th, 2017, as Duval walked to his house from school, another high schooler, Sheldon Ward, began to antagonize him after some friends shamed them both into fighting.
Sheldon decided to attack Duval in the middle of the street - punches were thrown and limbs were flying everywhere.
Friends of Sheldon, along with other people who are close with Duval, began to video record the fight.
At a moment when the two separated for a few seconds to square up again and continue the fight, a man who was nearby and over heard the commotion, intercepted the two fighters and initiated an intervention.
The man is Ibn Ali Miller, now heralded in the neighborhood as a respectable soul for reasoning with the two teenagers about the consequences of fighting.
With much elucidation, he explained how many of the other teenagers, and bystanders, don't really care for the fighters, and are just there for the entertainment - they will not defend them if they get into deep trouble with the law.
Miller says the following to the boys:
“You all got parents...
Don’t make your parents look like this.
Anybody who can laugh at you while you’re upset ain’t your friend...
Look around.
Who ill advised you?
You’re almost men, 14, 15, 16.
Start acting like it.
I know where you from.
Your parents worked hard to get where they’re at.”
The video of Miller's persuasion to get the teens to end the fight has received more than 30 Million views.
High-profile Black men such as Snoop Dog, LeBron James & Torrey Smith have celebrated Miller for his efforts to teach the boys a lesson about responsibilities and growing up.
Miller, in the end, managed to get the two boys to shake hands.
Duval has stated that he doesn't even know how he ended up getting into a scuffle with the other teenage boy.
He says the one thing that got through to him during Miller's explanation was how he realized that the people he thought were his friends were just there to watch the spectacle.
