Trayvon Martin Paragraph

C. Explain the meaning of the statement ,"We are all Trayvon Martin." (hard)


By saying "We are all Trayvon Martin" is saying that he is just another person. He is like me and like you, just people who are walking around are Tratvon Martin. No matter what race, religion, skin color, and gender he was just another person that lived on this earth. When the many people stated that meaningful words, it also meant that it could have been any of us who was shot and killed by George Zimmerman. Trayvon was just the unlucky soul who was there at the wrong time, but it could have been a kid like me and an adult like my teachers, either way it would still have effected us all as it did. He was killed by a racist man, but everyone knows there are a lot of racist people, and that anyone could be killed at any moment. It means a lot to many people when it is understood that "We are all Trayvon Martin".
