| Remembering Trayvon Martin |
The verdict is in:
Some believe that justice has prevailed...others do not. two truths are evident:
Not Guilty!
Some believe that justice has prevailed...others do not. two truths are evident:
- George Zimmerman is a Free Man.
- Trayvon Martin is Dead!
Where do we go from here? First the answer is not anarchy. No rioting, looting, civil unrest. No-No-No!
The answer is Love...
What's Love gotta do wit it?
If the Trayvon Martin death is to have any significance, it must be one of a cause-to-action. Martin's death demands that we pay increased attention to the plight and potentially dangerous landscape that is faced by America's Black Male Youth. It is DANGEROUS to be a Black Teen in America.
The reality is that RACE is/was the (one of many) factor in the Zimmerman case. Beyond that of race, we also have an issue of economic disparity within our Justice system. Trayvon is a cause celebre -- propelling us to action.
The family and friends of Trayvon have set a foundation to set his legacy into infamy. The Trayvon Martin Foundation is my engine for remembrance, action, and political change. State and Federal laws, Gun Control, and a conversation about Youth in America is desperately needed.
Please join me in remembering Trayvon Martin by supporting the Trayvon Martin Foundation.
