It all began when I saw a headline for a new book: “The Lincoln Hypothesis.” The title completely intrigued me and I began reading it. The author, Tim Ballard, explained his affinity with Lincoln’s history and the work of abolishing slavery. By doing so, he described his nonprofit: “Operation Underground Railroad (O.U.R.),” an organization that rescues children from sex trafficking throughout the world. I became very intrigued and have followed their efforts ever since. Eventually, I enrolled in law school at the University of Wyoming and have continued to follow and support O.U.R.
