Trayvon Martin will always be remembered the Smithsonian Museum wants to feature the same hoody that he was murdered in at the museum in the National Museum of African American History and Culture branch. The branch director Lonnie Bunch says that the symbolism and potential for discourse are the reasons the hoodie would be featured:
“It became the symbolic way to talk about the Trayvon Martin case. It’s rare that you get one artifact that really becomes the symbol.”
The Smithsonian Museum will open this part of the museum in Washington D.C. in 2015 and feature the hoody along with other historical artifacts.
A lot of us feel the same way about the verdict in the Trayvon Martin vs George Zimmerman case, that it was unfair and unjust for Zimmerman to be found not guilty meaning walking away doing no jail time at all for the murder of a 17 year old teenager in February 2012. All because of Florida and its “Stand Your Ground” law. Since the verdict there have been boycotts, rallies, and all types of ways around the world where people are fighting for justice for this law to be reviewed and revised. Here’s a letter from Trayvon Martin’s parents to the world asking for us to continue our fight for justice…

Al Sharpton’s upcoming memoir, The Rejected Stone, is being released on Cash Money Content which has come as a shocker to many. If you aren’t familiar Sharpton was a very public critic of Lil Wayne, and hip-hop artists in general who for their use of profanity including the “n-word.” Al Sharpton was the one who met with PepsiCo and the family of Emmett Till regarding the YMCMB rapper’s offensive lyrics referencing Till and framed in a sexual context. PepsiCo later dropped Lil Wayne from his endorsement with the company.
So, imagine the shock and awe when after years of animosity on both sides, Sharpton inked a deal with Cash Money Content, the publishing arm of Cash Money Records which we know is Lil Wayne’s home label. The memoir, The Rejected Stone will track Sharpton’s personal evolution from a New York street activist to a political candidate and spokesperson for civil rights. The book will be released by Cash Money Content and Massenburg Media, in partnership with the Simon & Schuster imprint, Atria.
Carl Redding, a chef and former associate of Rev. Sharpton has penned an open letter to Sharpton calling for him to return the “blood money” he obtained from Cash Money.
“As one who has spent years publicly crusading against the harmful effect of misogynistic lyrics on our young people, it’s clear that your decision to cut a lucrative financial deal with those who propagate such destructive images in our community, is the latest example of your failed leadership.”
The letter goes on to say…
“I believe in my heart of heart that the Rev Dr Martin Luther King, Jr. would not have traded 30 pieces of silver to the likes of the Little Wayne’s of our world today as you have done by signing a piece of book deal paper with Cash Money… So Rev Sharpton, in conclusion of my Open Letter to you, I am publicly imploring you to end your business relationship with Cash Money and return the “blood money” that you have accepted from those very people who continue to have the highest disregard for our women and our community.”

— If we’re sending a message in our societies that someone who is armed potentially has the right to use those firearms even if there is a way for them to exit from the situation, is that really going to be contributing to the peace and order? For those who resist that idea, I’d just ask people to consider if Trayvon Martin was of age and armed, could he have stood his ground on that sidewalk? Do we actually think he would’ve been justified in shooting Mr. Zimmerman because he followed him in a car?
