“His name will sit alongside the greats whom lost their lives to push our culture forward”- Jay Z
JAY-Z spoke at the Trayvon Martin Foundation’s sixth annual Peace Walk and Talk in Miami earlier today. During his speech, he said, “we want to make sure that we stand and support and never forget that Trayvon serves as a beacon of light to the people out here. So you guys never have to go through the pain and hurt that these guys went through.” Jay spoke fondly on the man (Trayvon) who would have been 23 years old last week. “His name will sit alongside the greats whom lost their lives to push our culture forward—the Martin Luther Kings, the Gandhis. That’s the intention we set so his name will serve as a beacon of light and hope to push our culture forward in a better direction.”
