Trayvon Martin's parents write book on 5-year anniversary of his death

It wasn't supposed to take Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin five years to write a book about the death of their son, Trayvon Martin. But their grief has made finding the words unbearable until now.

Martin's parents collaborated to write Rest In Power: The Enduring Life of Trayvon Martin, published Tuesday by Spiegel & Grau. The book recounts the journey of two grieving parents, thrust into the spotlight by tragedy and on some days, still as close to their loss as the day he died.

Writing the book was therapeutic to know that writing it might help others, Tracy Martin said.

1. Can't believe it's that long either. Seems like just yesterday folks who support Trump and/or guns

were promoting idea that an armed man, not to mention fake security guard, who grabbed his gun and stormed out of his house after a big fight with his wife, spotted a skinny unarmed teenager -- stalked him, scared him, intimidated him, then shot him center mass -- is acceptable in the USA because the 2nd Amendment or some such BS.
