For the first time on national television, the mothers of Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, Michael Brown, and Tamir Rice get together for a groundbreaking interview conducted by CNN’s Anderson Cooper.
Their sons were all victims of racial injustice and police brutality, and as we know, their deaths have stirred ongoing protests nationwide. CNN reports:
The mothers of these four unarmed black men and boys felled by bullets or excessive police force have no doubt their sons would still be alive if they were white. No question, they say.
Sybrina Fulton, Martin’s mother, told Anderson Cooper in the interview:
I think absolutely my son’s race and the color of his skin had a lot to do with why he was shot and killed. In all of these cases, these victims were unarmed. These victims were African-American. That needs to be our conversation.
We salute their strength and hope the world will continue to fight alongside them to see a change in this nation. To watch more clips from the interview, click here.
