Nate Tarver's first day of work as a police officer in Moore, Oklahoma would leave him shocked and stunned when one of his coworkers referred to him as a nigger with a gun over forty years ago when he was issued his uniform. In an age when diversity wasn't appreciated or fully accepted, Nate was the only African American officer in a department that wasn't ready for inclusiveness. That day changed Nate forever as he would begin an uphill battle to establish himself as a peacekeeper and servant of the people. He made it his purpose to be recognized as a great officer based on his character, dedication and commitment to the people of Oklahoma and not his color, race, or ethnic background. His goal has always been to be an extension of the hand of GOD and exhibit peace, solidarity, and hope to all races and cultures. That goal would be tested when the leader of the Klu Klux Klan (who hated Nate) would need him to testify on his behalf. Find out what Nate did on the latest episode of The Movement with Mongo!
