Powerful journey for Francis Okoro


’s journey to Normal, Illinois began when he left Nigeria in 2014 before the start of what would have been his eighth-grade year. But prep school stops in Mississippi, Las Vegas and Tennessee just weren’t the right fit. A final move to Normal settled Okoro’s life. With his parents still living in Nigeria, Okoro moved in with his aunt and uncle in January 2016. (Champaign-Urbana News-Gazette)
