As we continue to pay tribute to Trayvon Martin, the young teen who was shot and killed by a neighborhood watch captain in a Sanford, Fl gated community, Sara Haile-Mariam, a contributor to GG, has given us one of the most touching videos in the name of the slain teen.
EXCLUSIVE: Why The 2012 Election Cycle Sucks!
Through song, the video captures the true nature of crime and violence, which afflicts young black people in America.
The song “Little Plans” by Sara expresses the struggle as she sings:
“Little kids- little man- little lady- little plans. It’s not their fault- they’ve got no choice- cause they’ve forgotten- they’ve got a voice…”
It is an amazing video and we urge you all to watch it.
