It wasn’t supposed to take Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin five years to write a book about the death of their son, Trayvon Martin. But their grief has made finding the words unbearable until now.
Martin’s parents collaborated to write “Rest In Power: The Enduring Life of Trayvon Martin,” published Tuesday by Spiegel & Grau. The book recounts the journey of two grieving parents, thrust into the spotlight by tragedy and on some days, still as close to their loss as the day he died.
“The calendar says five years, but it seems like just a few months,” Sybrina Fulton said in an interview with The Associated Press. “I know that we’re still healing.” […]
The family, which has a foundation in Trayvon’s name, has not reached out to President Donald Trump, but is open to working with the administration in their efforts, Tracy Martin said. …

Suuuuure they did.
Prayers for Zimmerman, who still hasn’t recovered from that year on the hotseat. Perhaps he never will.
George has been very quiet here lately, for him.
No publicly known arrests, no road rage pursuits, no angry girl friends blabbing to the media. Maybe he’s settling down.
I am surprised they know how to write.
Actually they probably can’t.
Took them that long to find a ghost writer who could make sense of their ridiculous story.
It doesn’t matter what’s in it. I doubt it will sell more than a 1,000 copies.
My baby was a good boy. He was just walking home from school with his purple drank ingredients, not bothering no one, when he was gunned down by a White hispanic and began a whole national movement, Black Lives Matter. He is a national hero!
Wow———that will be a HUGE seller./s
It will also probably be required reading in some schools.
.
If they start doing that (selling off ashes or physical remnants of the deceased), something tells me a local cemmetary will soon ‘run out of’ bodies. Someone is stealing corpses of unnamed dead black youth! Isn’t it strange, isn’t it shocking?
***But their grief has made finding the words unbearable until now.***
Or was it their inability to find a ghost writer to string together a series of their words into a coherent sentence.
Title: Purple Drank Does Not Make You Bullet-Proof.
Better include coupons for free Skittles and Purple Drank, or I ain’t buyin’ it.
The book should be published in cursive so that Trayvon’s friends can’t read it.
All cover, no words.
I’m sure it will be a best seller with us Creepy Ass Cracka’s...
Martin’s parents collaborated to write a book because neither one can write, therefore they had to get someone smart enough to write for them....how may times do you think Mother is referenced in the book???
Yep, grief is why it took them 5 years...couldn’t have been they were holding out for a larger cut.
Release his juvenile and school records. Let your son’s memory shine the way it should for Black History month.
Maybe the ASS Press will assign 14 people to peruse the book for factual errors. You know, just to be certain the GHOST writers got everything correct.
ha ha ha ha ha
Seriously, I saw a local MIAMI reporter “interview” the people who are the biological parents of George Zimmerman’s attacker. Talk about an exercise in poor journalism....no tough questions...just hype.
Let’s see how that book is doing on amazon, ok?
Why five years? Is the gravy train running out of steam?
