On February 26th, 2012 Trayvon Martin was walking home when he was fatally shot by George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer. Trayvon was visiting his father and walked through a neighborhood that had been recently victimized by robberies to get some candy and soda from the market. Zimmerman followed Trayvon after calling the Sanford Police for Trayvon’s alleged suspicious behavior which was his apparel—a hooded sweatshirt.

There was an altercation between the two individuals in which Martin was shot and killed. George Zimmerman was eventually charged and tried in Martin’s death. In July of 2013, the jury acquitted Zimmerman of second-degree murder and of manslaughter.

The death of Trayvon Martin sparked national debates about racial profiling and the controversial Stand Your Ground Law. One of these debates occurred at the University of Utah. The following is a recording of that debate and conversation with the mother of Trayvon Martin, Sybrina Fulton.

 

In January 2014, The University of Utah led its week-long Martin Luther King Junior celebration with the theme “Beneath the Hoodie: A Look at Racial Profiling in America”.

Sybrina Fulton, the mother of Trayvon Martin came to the University of Utah to hold a panel discussion with the faculty members and students moderated by Erika George – Professor and Co-Director Center for Global Justice, for the College of Law at the University of Utah.

Sybrina Fulton takes the podium with no notes or papers in hand, opting to choose to speak from the heart. Sybrina doesn’t speak as a civil rights activist, but as a mother who lost her son to injustice because of the color of his skin. After saying what was on her mind, she and Erika open the conversation to debate and a question and answer segment.

In a world where there is still debate over whether  #blacklivesmatter or #alllivesmatter, now more than ever does Sybrina Fulton’s sentiments and thoughts needs to be heard.

Rest in Peace , Trayvon Benjamin Martin. (February 5, 1995 – February 26, 2012)

Robert Kelly of the “You Know What, Dude?” podcast, brother of Louis CK on the Emmy Award winning television show, “Louie” and star of the new FX series, “Sex, Drugs and Rock N’ Roll” sits down for an interview. Johnny McKeon, Sascha Blume and Jason Harvey chat poolside at Robert Kelly’s hotel (with very loud air conditioners, that’s the white noise).

Robert delves into the interview with his perspective of honesty on stage and in life and how he got his start on Louie and the infamous “Bang Bang” dinner scene. He discusses and defines the difference between writing material and living it, the need to tell the truth on stage and where he finds his energy to perform and be an entertainer.

The conversation drifts to fatherhood and Sascha and Jason chime in with their personal experiences. Robert explains the meaning of self-deprecation.
