Richie "Moswen" Cleaver |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Richie, the one white guy at the Million Man March, has legally added the African name “Moswen” as his middle name. (The name was given to him by a prankster from Botswana who told him it means “deliverer of justice.” It actually means “light in color.”) Though well meaning, Richie comes across as patronizing and insensitive. He is Shin’s pre-school teacher.
