from Trayvon Martin:

Is there a future where we change

the way people think about black people?

Is there a future where they see

me as a good person?

Is there a future where my murderer

isn’t afraid of me just because I’m black

wearing a black hoodie and walking home

with a little candy in my pocket?

Yes.
