Thanks for telling this story. The story was compassionate,encouraging and motivating. The facilitators were gently,but fair,firm and positive. There were no political statements but a manifestation of the awewness that there is a need and the need can be met. We must keep talking.
Strangely the CENTRAL FLORIDA BLACK JOURNALIST ASSOCIATION has closed all the comments sections on their Facebook page.So I will comment here.
The case of Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman has all the signals of a GOVERNMENT BLACK OPS MILITARY OPERATION.From the gavel to gavel television coverage to the verdict to start a RACIAL CIVIL WAR.
