A Black Mother's Ode to Her Black Son

I Am The Mother of a Black Son



 Sista Medina Jackson recites her poem "I am the Mother of a Black Son" at the July 2013 Rally Seeking Justice for Trayvon Martin and victims of racial profiling in Pittsburgh, Pa.

The Alliance for Police Accountability is calling all COMMUNITY MEMBERS (ESPECIALLY THE YOUTH), politicians, community organizations, faith based institutions, and community groups to stand together. Stand with us as we send the right one!! We will not stand for any victims of profiling to be criminalized and go without getting justice.

This case has reminded us of the grave injustices and the many Trayvon Martin's that we have right here at home in Pittsburgh! Let's make a resounding noise and presence and make it clear that WE WANT AN END TO RACIAL PROFILING AND THE PROFILING OF ANY ONE IN OUR CITY!! No one should be subjected to such prejudice whether it be for the way that they dress, their race, religion and/or sexual orientation.

IT IS TIME TO GET BACK TO UNITING AS ONE AND FIGHTING FOR OUR CIVIL RIGHTS!! LET'S FLOOD THE STREETS!!

YOU MAKE THE DIFFERENCE!!

**JUSTICE FOR TRAYVON MARTIN, JORDAN MILES, LAWRENCE JONES, LEON FORD, DENNIS HENDERSON, ROSSANO STEWART AND ALL OF THOSE WHO GO UNAMED!!**
