I am with you both as well...it is the way to bring about change peacefully...Trayvon's mom urged us to be smart and use our voting power

Chaka Kahn joined the boycott too!
Did any of you catch Sybrina Fulton's (Trayvon's mom) powerful and emotional speech to the Urban League?
She was so poised and spoke such truth...I will forever remember her words..."My message to you is, please use my story, please use my tragedy, please use my broken heart to say to yourself, "We cannot let this happen to anybody else's child..."
She also said that "the verdict will NOT define Travyon Martin...We will define his legacy..."
I feel her pain and deep sorrow...she is a remarkable and profound woman!
