I know I shared with you all about the march for Trayvon in my Spring Break post but I wanted to talk about the adrenaline I felt while marching in downtown Chicago on that rainy and gloomy Wednesday afternoon. This was the first time ever that I have experienced something as empowering as this. I mean just to see people come out in the pouring rain to stand up for someone who didn't have a chance to speak for himself was profound and it spoke volumes. And as everyone knows, Chicago isn't the best place in the world especially not the safest but just to know that when something goes wrong within the world or the community, there are still people out there who will stand and fight for what is right. I mean I was so proud and so empowered that day that I didn't care who seen me with my clenched fist screaming, "No justice, no peace" or "Justice for Trayvon!" I was black and proud, and loving it, not too mention I had my afro puff out. Man, it was just awesome too do that and even more awesome that young kids were out there doing it too. As far as justice for Trayvon I know that justice will be served and if it may not be done by the court, it will be done by the Judge Himself, Jesus Christ. So with that being said, I'm just going to continue to pray and hope that everything will work out and also that we don't have to something else like this happen again. Some pictures that I took..
