Tuesday marked the third anniversary of a popular social media movement that got its start in Cleveland.

Three years ago, Ricky Smith woke up from a nap with $20 in his pocket and decided to use that money to buy pizza for the homeless in L.A.

He had no idea it would turn into Random Acts of Kindness Everywhere, also known online as #RAKE.

The praise for Cleveland keeps coming, even as the political focus shifts to Philadelphia.

While our police force, restaurants and downtown are getting a lot of attention, so is Ricky Smith.

He attended each day of the RNC and went viral holding some untraditional signs.

Watch the video to see the signs and how Smith plans to help out during the DNC in Philly.
