In the quiet corridors of Marmion Military Academy, where cadets marched in lockstep and uniforms were sacred, one boy stood out—not because he refused to follow, but because he refused to disappear. His name was Ravi Singh, and he wore a turban. Not as a fashion statement. Not as rebellion. But as a sacred symbol of his Sikh faith—a crown of dignity passed down from Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh Guru, who in 1699 commanded his followers to stand tall, be visible, and never bow to tyranny. But in 1986 Aurora, Illinois, visibility came at a price.
