Trayvon Martin's parents are working on a book about the killing of their son and the trial and acquittal in Florida of George Zimmerman, publishers say. Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin met with publishers to discuss the book, the New York Times reported Friday. Publishing executives said the couple talked about the role of race in the killing and religion in their lives.
Trayvon was 17 and walking to a relative's house when he encountered Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer, in a gated community in Sanford, Fla. The teenager was unarmed but Zimmerman's attorneys argued he jumped Zimmerman, who fired in self-defense.
Jan Miller, Fulton's and Martin's literary agent, joined the couple for the meetings, the executives told the Times.
While little attention was paid to the shooting immediately after Trayvon was killed in February 2012, the news media began covering it when his family questioned the police decision to release Zimmerman without charges. Zimmerman's trial this year received national and international attention.
Nothing like limelight seeking “parents” profiteering from a kid’s death, a kid they were too lazy and disinterested in to properly parent
I hope it comes with its own crayons. Purple Drank available at no extra charge.
Great! Gotta keep that “Knock-out Game” momentum going...
These two, the media, the Democrat party, have no idea how much evil they have spawned off Trayvon’s attempt to play gangsta in the hood with the wrong person.
ahh a book full of lies..
how much can the reader believe???
I am a great reader with a kindle full...but this will be one book I would NEVER PURCHASE.
wake up America...enough of this phony bull ***t.
It will hit the best seller list and reap 5 star reviews by all the Leftist toadies, as a financial reward for playing the Victim Card.
We all knew there would be a book, and after that a movie.
In the Movie Trayvon will be portrayed as an altar boy coming home from Church with a bottle of Holy water for his Fathers sick girlfriend.
instead of a book jacket, it will come in a little hoodie
Heck no. Ain’t nobody got time to read cursive.
Exactly. Volunteer to be the technical advisor.
Not me. I am a typewriterphobic.
They’d do better making it into a rap tune.
Yes and a forward written by Ayers for Barry Obama.
All good books should have popup 3D pictures.
Oh, I hope they include the bling, pistol, and middle finger photos!!!!
Coloring book or cookbook?
Hopefully it’s a book to address the sad results of teenagers having babes out of wedlock, black or white, and how hard work, faith, morals and love of spouse and family will bring the best rewards.
Let me guess - a coloring book.
(and make it seem like forever)
Naturally. The book needs to be usefull to the reader.
