Trayvon Martin and Martin Richard

Martin Richard made that sign in the famous pic of him in memory of Trayvon Martin.




<In a blog post, Constantino says he stopped into Richard’s second grade classroom last year while marching from Boston to Sanford, Florida to protest the handling of Trayvon Martin’s death. Richard’s class was studying non-violent protest, and at Constantino’s suggestion, they enthusiastically joined him for a bit of his march that day. Constantino recounts the class’s response when the teacher suggested they participate:

“I don’t know class, what do you think? Do you want to march with Mr. Constantino today?”

Martin’s hand shot up, as did several others, “OOOH OOOH OOOH I want to!”

“YAAAAAAAAA!!!”

The place became a whirling vortex of poster board, markers and signs.

…

And then I came to Martin’s sign. It was on light blue poster board, framed by two hearts and two peace signs.

“No more hurting people, peace.”

I snapped a photo.>
