HeadlineMar 26, 2012

Protests continue across the country to call for the arrest of the man who shot Trayvon Martin. Marsha Adebayo attended a rally in Washington, D.C.

Marsha Adebayo: “My son was stopped 20 times in one month when he was 18 years old. When he was 19 years old, he was stopped 30 times in one month. Every single black woman here with a black son will have a story like mine. So we absolutely have to stop this kind of atrocity that’s going on, this war against black men in this country.”
