What if I Wore a Hoodie? Meeting Trayvon's Parents
Tonight I met parents with the saddest of stories to tell. They are the parents of a teenager whose name is so well-known. It’s Trayvon Martin.

A real boy who was really killed because of the color of his skin.

I already had protesting on my mind when the alarm went off early on a Sunday morning only to hear Krista Tippet interviewing civil rights legend Congressman John Lewis.
