Black Youth Respond to Zimmerman Verdict
The media is still abuzz over the stunning acquittal of George Zimmerman in the killing of Trayvon Martin, as one of the five white jurors is now speaking to the media and reportedly has a book deal*. Missing in much of the discourse are voices representing Trayvon Martin, a 17 year old African American boy.
A group of 100 young black people calling themselves the Black Youth Project met over the weekend in Chicago and recorded a message in solidarity with Trayvon Martin this week. That was the opening excerpt of a longer statement by the Black Youth Project on the acquittal of George Zimmerman.
GUEST: Jasiri X, Emcee, Community Activist, host of This Week with Jasiri X, and award winning hip hop artist and performer, and member of the Black Youth Project.
NOTE: During our live program, it was reported that Juror B-37’s book deal was no longer happening.
