A New York teenager who graciously spent 10 hours overnight cleaning up after a protest in Buffalo.was rewarded with a car and college scholarship, WKBW reports.On June 1, Antonio Gwynn Jr., an 18-year-old senior at Hutchinson Central Technical High School.left his home with a broom at 2 a.m.

So he could clean the streets.Gwynn said he felt compelled to do so after watching Facebook Live streams of police activity on Bailey Avenue, one of the streets where the protest had taken place.When another local resident, Kalah Bishop, and a group she organized dropped by to help clean up at 10 a.m., much of the work had already been done.Several days later, Matt Block, another resident, caught wind of the teenager’s generous act .and decided to gift the high school student his 2004 Ford Mustang as a way of saying thank you.And that’s not all.

Gwynn, who had hoped to attend college in the fall, also learned that he was given a full scholarship to Medaille College.“I literally stopped, pulled over, and started crying,” the teenager said
