Answer:
Here is one script for Black Lives Matter regarding a kid named <u>Trayvon</u>.
Explanation:
Five years ago today, a teenage boy
went out for a snack but never made it
home to his loving family. A grown man
took it upon himself to patrol his neigh-
borhood and to shoot dead an unarmed,
unassuming boy. Not only did a mother
have to bury her young son, but she now
watches his killer walk the streets free—
free to brag about killing Trayvon, and
free to commit more acts of violence.
We need to #TalkAboutTrayvon because,
five years later, there are still no conse-
quences when adults wave their guns
around at Black and Brown kids. Police
continue to mistreat, terrorize, and even
murder boys and girls of color, and then
walk free. We need to #TalkAboutTray-
von, share pictures of his sweet face,
and remind each other what we continue
to lose when we uphold a system that
won’t punish people who kill Black chil-
dren and adults. We are not only losing
wonderful people—we are losing our
humanity.
White communities are used to con-
sciously and unconsciously maintaining
the racist policies and practices that
led to Trayvon’s death—and, as white
people, we must speak out against
those policies and practices. When we
remain silent and on the sidelines, we
are complicit in maintaining these unjust
systems. Our work is to get more white
people who support us to take action
toward racial justice—and to change the
hearts and minds of those white people
who are not yet with us.
When we #TalkAboutTrayvon, we tell
grieving parents that we see them and
acknowledge their pain. When we #Talk-
AboutTrayvon, we tell Black children that
we are not afraid of them—we are only
afraid they won’t get the bright future
they deserve.
