While We Might Not All Be Trayvon Martin, President Barack Obama Actually Was
This statement from the president on "stand your ground" laws, race relations in America, his own experience growing up black, and how the Trayvon Martin case played out touched my heart for so many reasons. The president managed to gracefully sum up everything that many of us have been struggling to say since we heard the verdict. I'm so very proud of this statement, and I hope it inspires people to have discussions around their kitchen tables tonight.
