I never thought of your name in relation to this.

you will be the sweet reminder of our support for Trayvon. Something this Country must never forget.
We need to fight the fear. We need to do it for all the Trayvons. Every sweet soul.

Thank you Skittles together.

without being confronted by a nutcase vigilante - it is egregious no matter what your color but it is ESPECIALLY egregious if it is BECAUSE of your color

Trayvon is such a beautiful kid.. too bad something like this couldn't have been shown to the jury, she.

They might have gotten it through their thick heads that he was a kid.. some mother and father's child. Just trying to get home on a rainy night in Florida.

Mahalo, she

have been about dignity and pride. It has been peaceful.









America should stand up and listen.

Peace. Justice.

It was hard for me too.

However, it needs to be seen. It needs to be said.

We need to stop the fear that is causing the hate.
