Trayvon Martin’s mom on ‘black lives matter’: American law used to consider us only 3/5ths human

Speaking before a packed house in Greensboro, N.C. the mother of slain teen Trayvon Martin spoke of dealing with the death of her son, saying the worst day of her life was not the day she learned he had been killed, but “The day I had to bury my son.”

According to the News-Record, Sybrina Fulton spoke about how she felt after losing her son when he was shot and killed by George Zimmerman in Sanford, Florida in 2012. A jury later found Zimmerman not guilty of second-degree murder.


She recalled that she thought, “I’m never going to laugh again, I’m never going to smile again. And I was one of those people that enjoyed life 95 percent of the time. But now it turned into 95 percent of my life was sad.”

Saying “I have to do more,” Fulton explained her mission to speak out after the death of her son.
