New York Brings Hoodie Season to the World For Trayvon Martin
I woke up yesterday with a few things on my mind. Personal issues, family issues and others could have easily held my focus but in the midst of that I knew that this day truly was not about me at all. I got up, ate breakfast, showered and packed my back pack for the day ahead. After a great lunch meeting I started contacting folk for the event to come. We were going to rally. The news has now gone national on the murder of Trayvon Martin and the lack of an arrest by the Sanford Police Dept of killer George Zimmerman. People are tired, frustrated and angry that the justice that they pay to have provided is not equally and fairly administered. So Union Square serves as the meeting point for the masses. We heard from various speakers before the Parents of Trayvon spoke to us. Showing strength that I could only hope that I'd have, they thanked us for the love and support.
The rally would then morph and grow with part of the crowd marching south towards the Brooklyn Bridge while another group which I was within would head north to Times Square. Words will fall short to express the feeling in the air and I can only pray that this sparks something long lasting and effective beyond the "cause of the moment" that so many other tragic acts turn into.

JUSTICE FINALLY FOR THE BLAZE FAMILY???
DJ Carl Blaze was a great guy to many people. I can't even say I knew him but in limited encounters and passings at Sues he was cool and humble. Deserving much better then the fate that claimed his life in 2006. God willing this case is about to be solved to give the family and friends a degree of closure.
Hit the jump for the NY Post details.

Hoping for Justice.....
This is a update to "My President is BlacC"
Full Story Here
By Ismael AbduSalaam
Johannes Mehserle, the former police officer seen on tape shooting a face-down, unarmed Oscar Grant in the back, has officially been charged with murder.
Mehserle was arrested Tuesday night (January 13) in Zephyr Cove, Nevada.
The New Year's Day shooting has sparked outrage and protests in the city of Oakland, with many accusing BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) of having a history of racially motivated violence against young black men.
In 1992, a BART policeman shot 19 year-old Jerrold Hall in the back after the teenager attempted to flee a parking lot.
Although Hall was unarmed, the officer was acquitted on the grounds that he felt threatened Hall would return with a weapon.
