AFTER TRAYVON: Black Boys Speak. A video

A public discussion among  9 Black and Latino boys ages 10-17. These young fellas share their feelings and their impressions very well.  Guided by moderator Kevin Powell they talk about their concerns on racism, stereotyping, stop and search, unity, education and more. This video was shot shortly before the arrest of George Zimmerman. I reccommend watching the entire video for an intimate look into the thoughts of these youngsters.

I hope this will inspire more of us to encourage and empower our young people to speak their minds, using whatever tools are available to us.

Watch Who This Cop Picks To Eject From The Park

He wasn't sitting up straight enough. Give me an effen break. You might not call it racism but I sure would. After watching this video for the third time, I have decided that sergeant Lee has committed a grievous assault on this young man's dignity. Having witnessed this cowardly act, it is readily apparent to me that this wimp like many others, has no business in a position of authority. This was much the same way that Eric Garner was approached, for something that could have been left alone. By forcing these degrading confrontations on people who are minding their own business, the police always give themselves the opportunity escalate a situation which was nothing in the first place, to one where their victim ends up in trouble or worse seriously injured.

A look at Fred Hampton (August 30, 1948 – December 4, 1969)

Craig Hall and Vernon Martin producers of "RAISE YOUR SELF IMAGE"
Dedicated their 4th program

(February 10, 2011) to Fred Hampton, leader of the Chicago chapter of Black Panther Party for Self Defense
They present a segment of Eyes on the Prize that discusses Fred Hampton. While the program is not long enough to present the entire program, there should be enough to stimulate people to search for more info on this dynamic young African American who gave his life trying to improve the circumstances of his community.
