You did a powerful and moving post on the subject from your perpective as someone who is not only concerned (as are we all here), but who has to live with fear for the safety of your child every single day ( http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002505362 ).
I'm glad that I had a chance to respond to that post, and to post one of these photos there. But I balked at the idea of posting a link to this thread there, at the idea of promoting my own OP in your thread.
At the same time, I'm glad that you independently found your way here to see the story of just one of many, many marches and rallies and protests that are continuing around the country.
You are not alone. There has been a powerful upswelling of support and outrage and protest that transcends racial and ethnic and all other kinds of boundaries.
Trayvon's killing was a tragedy, and no one coud have predicted that it would ignite a new civil rights--human rights--movement. For all the cynicism that's been embedded in us in recent years there are still things that give us hope...
And one thing that gives us hope is that people are rising up, all across the country to demand justice. And we won't stop until we get justice.
No, MJ, you are not alone...
