“I knew what I had to survive at,” DeMar says. “I knew what it took when you walking down the street, and you see five or six people walking your way. What you gonna do? Cross the street and go the other way? Turn around or put your head down and walk by? No. For me, I always held my head up high. If you can’t look a man in the eye and you look away, you show where your heart stands.”
