When Marvin Burch was 19-year-old student at Norfolk State University, he and two friends shopped at a mall where they saw a white man getting arrested for what they later learned was check forgery. (1/7) nbcnews.to/3fpHRIK #NBCNewsThreads
"The man pointed at me as we walked past the bank," said Burch, now 60. "And then a cop asked me to come with him." (2/7)
A white officer escorted Burch into the bank, where the detained white man claimed that Burch had given him a forged check and two identifications of a Black man with an Afro.

"It obviously wasn't me," Burch said. "There was no resemblance, and I did not have an Afro." (3/7)
