Tracy Martin wants his son, Trayvon, to be remembered as this century's Emmett Till, and have his death reawaken the nation's lagging civil rights movement.
"We want him to be known as that child of central Florida who galvanized the country," said Martin, who was a guest speaker at Nassau Community College on Wednesday.
"We would like to see his name in the history books of modern days, taking his place beside Emmett Till [though] Emmett Till has a legacy I don't think any African-American child will surpass."
Till, 14, was killed in Mississippi in 1955 after being accused of flirting with a white woman.
More than five decades after Till's lynching helped ignite the battle for civil rights, Trayvon was shot and killed in a confrontation with a neighborhood watchman while the teen was returning home from buying Skittles and Arizona iced tea....

the parents don’t want to work, like al Sharpton and jesse Jackson and el golfo obama
How many black kids have been murdered in the past years?
Why the canonization of this guy?
I don’t get it.
.
WOuld like to see Saint Skittles in history books? Sure!
Only as the biggest media construct FRAUD foisted on the American people, to warn citizens of the future to stay ever vigilant - because the media prowls around seeking who they can deceive and manipulate.
Is there ANY hope for Blacks to ever wise up, stop this nonsense, and join the rest of America? EVER?
The truth is; this bid for bucks is a little too late.
Geeeez, all this is, is America has gone topsy turvy. We are living in an upside down world for the past 6 years. Does anyone know where the hell we are headed anymore?!!!
It made Travon Martin a dead punk. Travon Martin was the only person in this incident who broke any laws. He is not a hero, he is a dead punk.
“Is there ANY hope for Blacks to ever wise up, stop this nonsense, and join the rest of America? EVER?”

Many have joined the rest of America. I know some.
They graduate from H.S,graduate from college,work,buy homes,marry and do what most of us do.
They keep their mouths shut and just plod along in life.

Concerned daddy sent his felonious son, expelled from high school in Miami-Dade, some 200 miles away to Sanford, where he was housed by Daddy’s girl friend. Most of the rest, of any significance, is a matter of police dispatcher’s telephone record of verbal exchanges with neighborhood watch volunteer Zimmerman.
The media and his parents are not done pushing their agenda and will dance in his blood for years to come. They have spun so many lies about St. Skittles there is no return.
Its what they do.
FORWARD!
These people are the problem with “civil rights” and too stupid to realize it
You son was a thug, he reaped what he tried to sow
trayvon’s father is a vampire, sucking blood from his son’s lifeless corpse. Gimmie culture.
Does that mean we can renew Jim Crow laws? Because without them a new civil rights movement is just pathetic and stupid.
Pathetic. He’s pimping his sons death.
Well said!
Trayvon thought he was going to have some fun and play the Knockout Game on a gay man. He sadly miscalculated.
For seventeen years, the father didn’t pay enough attention to his own child’s needs. Now, he wants the nation to pay attention to his own wants.
Whites should have the civil right to protect themselves from lethal attacks.
*Traditional marriage supporters don't count.
Maybe he will be in history books...as another failed media attempt to provoke a race riot in the USA.
