Exclusive: Trayvon Martin’s Mom: ‘If They Refuse to Hear Us, We Will Make Them Feel Us’
Time Magazine ^ | August 18, 2014 | Sybrina Fulton

To The Brown Family,

I wish I had a word of automatic comfort but I don’t. I wish I could say that it will be alright on a certain or specific day but I can’t. I wish that all of the pain that I have endured could possibly ease some of yours but it won’t. What I can do for you is what has been done for me: pray for you then share my continuing journey as you begin yours.

I hate that you and your family must join this exclusive yet growing group of parents and relatives who have lost loved ones to senseless gun violence. Of particular concern is that so many of these gun violence cases involve children far too young. But Michael is much more than a police/gun violence case; Michael is your son. A son that barely had a chance to live. Our children are our future so whenever any of our children – black, white, brown, yellow, or red – are taken from us unnecessarily, it causes a never-ending pain that is unlike anything I could have imagined experiencing.

Further complicating the pain and loss in this tragedy is the fact that the killer of your son is alive, known, and currently free. In fact, he is on paid administrative leave. Your own feelings will bounce between sorrow and anger. Even when you don’t want to think about it because it is so much to bear, you will be forced to by merely turning on your television or answering your cell phone. You may find yourselves pulled in many different directions by strangers who may be well-wishers or detractors. Your circle will necessarily close tighter because the trust you once, if ever, you had in “the system” and their agents are forever changed....

Which mom? The mom that bore him, the mom that raised him, or the mom he was living with in that neighborhood of Zimmermans?

Someone clue me in how she can travel all over the world like a poor man’s Michelle Obama whilst receiving a paycheck from the taxpayers of Miami-Dade, Florida?

Yes, we will self-edit words like “thug” “bully” “gang-banger” “menace to society” and “brought it on himself/asked for it.”

Would not be seemly.

We created and offered Liberia. By now, that is a paradise.

By now she must have blown the blood money she got from her lawsuit against Zimmerman’s housing complex.
