All because of a law.



Powerful words from Sybrina Fulton: “No prom for Trayvon. No high school graduation for Trayvon. No college for Trayvon. No grandkids coming from Trayvon. All because of a law; a law that has prevented the person who shot and killed my son to be held accountable and to pay for this awful crime.”

"the right way", she.

She's a magnificent speaker for Trayvon's Tribute to "Not Letting This Happen Again to Anyone Else's Kid".

"The Verdict Will Not Define Trayvon Martin." Bless her hurting heart, she.

BOG Mahalo, she~

Instead of the loud voices that desecrate the memory of the dead in their own pride and fear.

In introducing Fulton, National Urban League CEO Marc Morial said watching the trial of George Zimmerman left many "horrified." "The Urban League movement today wraps our arms around this family, wraps our arms around Ms. Fulton, send our prayers to her. She is the mother of all of our children today."

"I think people also need to know that she is a mother, she's a mother in good standing. She's a black woman, she's a mother who is now trying to also reach out to everybody to make them aware of the fact that we're in a society that's supposed to be moving forward and we're moving backwards at a much more rapid pace than we are making progress." Dulan-Wilson attended Lincoln University and Temple University. Now retired, she is moving from New York to Philadelphia. She said the need for justice and equality in Florida and beyond "is more important now than ever."
