Let's Walk the Talk!

In spite of the verdict, I am not sorry that I united with students at Penn State and wore my hoodie as we engaged in a peaceful protest and marched in silence on, around and through the campus for the cause of bringing justice for Trayvon Martin and his family. I am happy that such a movement as well as others around the country sparked the authorities in Florida to investigate the issue, make an arrest and finally allow the voices of Trayvon's parents: Sabrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, Trayvon's stepmother Alicia Stanley (who also is grieving after playing such an important role in Trayvon's life) as well as his friend Rachel Jeantel (although widely criticized by naysayers) to be heard on Trayvon's behalf. My heart and prayers goes out to Trayvon's parents, step-mother, Trayvon's family and friends who loved and supported him and this cause for justice. I encourage You to as I always say, ' Don't Talk About it Be About It! It is one thing to talk about change. However, change starts with Us. For it is up to Us to BE the change in the difference that we desire to bring to fruition. Read the statement issued by Reverend Al Sharpton via Facebook:

STATEMENT BY REV. AL SHARPTON ON GEORGE ZIMMERMAN BEING ACQUITTED OF ALL CHARGES IN THE SHOOTING OF TRAYVON MARTIN

Saturday, July 13, 2013 (New York, NY) “The acquittal of George Zimmerman is a slap in the face to the American people but it is only the first round in the pursuit of justice. We intend to ask the Department of Justice to move forward as they did in the Rodney King case and we will closely monitor the civil case against Mr. Zimmerman. I will convene an emergency call with preachers tonight to discuss next steps and I intend to head to Florida in the next few days."

Rev. Al Sharpton, President of National Action Network and MSNBC Host


We can still unite together and stand up for justice by signing the NAACP's petition @NAACP petition to the Department of Justice: http://t.co/9OZhm6HfWh.
