When Nahshon Thomas was incarcerated
When Nahshon Thomas was incarcerated in the 1980s, he didn’t know much about chess. But he met a guy who told him that he would never beat him at the game. He didn’t like to hear that, but he decided to learn from him. Now that he’s out, he teaches chess and plays for money in New York’s Washington Square Park. “If you see any black man out here hustlin’, trying’ to sell something,” Thomas says, “he’s been to jail.”
