#OurSonTrayvon: Celebrities remember Trayvon Martin five years after he was killed 🔹
Trayvon Martin was shot and killed by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman on Feb. 26, 2012, in Sanford, Florida, when he was just 17 years old. Five years later, celebrities and organizers are hoping to ensure that the American public remembers Martin's name, life, death and legacy.🔹
The #OurSonTrayvon campaign, created by image activist MichaelaAngela Davis and actor Gbenga Akinnagbe, was launched on the fifth anniversary of Martin's death as a project of Akinnagbe's We Are Liberated apparel line. A portion of the proceeds raised from the sale of hoodies designed by Akinnagbe and Davis will be shared with the Trayvon Martin Foundation, a social justice organization committed to ending gun violence founded by Martin's parents, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin.🔹 "The goal of this awareness and fundraising campaign was not simply to commemorate the death of one of our sons, the state-sanctioned slaying of another black boy," Davis said of the commemoration. "But to honor the birth of the Movement for Black Lives, to bear witness that you cannot kill the black spirit or destroy the beloved community."🔹
