After her son Trayvon Martin was murdered, Sybrina dedicated her life to becoming an activist for social justice. She feels a strong connection to Mamie Till-Mobley, who’s son Emmett Till, was murdered for “supposedly” winking at a white woman in 1955.
She co-authored, with Tracey Martin, REST IN POWER: THE ENDURING LIFE OF TRAYVON MARTIN.
“The murder of my son has shown me that what happens to any of us, anywhere in the world, had better be the business of all of us.”
