Justice for Trayvon Martin Rally 03/24/2012 |
As closing arguments are wrapping up for the Trayvon Martin trail, prosecutor, John Guy makes a valid point to the panel.
"Your verdict is not going to bring Trayvon Martin back to life. It's not going to change the past. But it will forever define it."
Recently, in our own City of Baltimore, there have been countless senseless acts of violence against our younger generations from those who have developed a high tolerance of violence, and feed off a silent majority. As we have seen with the case of Trayvon Martin, the number of rally's across the country, and through social media, when we stand united, we can be heard and action can take place. Let use this same momentum and not remain silent in our own neighborhoods and cities, because what we don't do now will "forever define our people".
