Various people and organizations are profiting from this industry in various ways. The parents continually benefit financially from speaking engagements and personal appearances....and the black "movement" organizations benefit from donations as they employ non-stop the use of the brand name in propaganda assaults on evil whites, conservatives, Republicans and the Trump administration.
The "Trayvon Martin" brand name is now imprinted with sainthood...and will be used in perpetuity by the Left with all the adulation and reverence afforded to genuine religious saints. It's revealing to follow the money and free publicity trail connected with the brand name. The "Trayvon Martin" industry is a gift that will keep on taking in the foreseeable future.

“The name “Trayvon Martin” has become a trademark...and there’s an ongoing industry built around it.”
Boy, ain’t that the truth. And I find it despicable. One thing in particular makes me despise the Dem Party and liberals. It is the fact that they continually make saints out of sinners, and idols out of murderers, terrorists and anarchists. That they always champion the scum of society rather then good, solid people that make this country work.
Liberals as they see it, are protecting the underdog, no matter how despicable that underdog is. All of these vermin are victims of society and capitalism, victims of circumstance, victims of outside forces beyond their control, always victims that need saving by the morally (and I use that word loosely) sanctimonious left. And thus they continually attempt to lower society to its lowest common denominator.
We must all suffer equally. In other words, the liberal left thus are the champion of socialism, fascism, and communism. All philosophies based on control of the masses, and policy-wise, most perpetuate evil, mayhem, destruction, and war. Their philosophies must be destroyed by all good people, torn down and discarded on the ash heap of history, if we are to survive as a free people.
