"He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother"



Father Flanagan was in charge of an orphanage named "Boys Town" in Nebraska.  There is a famous drawing that we usually see around Christmas time.  Originally, in 1921, there was a young boy at Boys Town who had difficulty walking due to leg braces.  Other boys would take turns giving him a ride on their backs.  There is actually a well-known photograph of this young boy, together with another one of the boys giving him a ride
