Local barber Gilbert Lucas poses for a photo inside Ethnic Hair Care on Wednesday, Oct. 9, 2024, in Cheyenne. “I ended up going to prison for a few years. I ended up doing a couple years in Torrington, and then I came out of Torrington, and I came to Cheyenne,” Lucas said. “I’d never been to Cheyenne, and that was the purpose, because I knew if I went back to Casper, most likely I’d probably be dead, either by my hand or another’s. Freedom, to me, means the opportunity to choose. It’s like a kid with a coloring book — there’s no boundaries, no outlines; there’s no yellow brick (road), you know. You can do whatever you want.”
