Liberties, Crime and Public Safety, Peace and Nonviolence
Rep. John Lewis made this statement about the shooting of 17-year-old
Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida:
.
This shooting is a tragedy. It reminds me too much of what happened in
the 1930s, 40s and 50s in this country when thousands of people of color
were murdered without impunity simply because their lives were thought to
be cheap. The death of Trayvon Martin has a chilling effect on black
parents and their children, especially their sons.
.
They realize that in the 21st century they may still live in a
circumstance where the law is no protection, government authorities permit
the worst violence, and little is done to enforce justice. Hundreds and
thousands of African American boys in Atlanta and other urban cities are
killed, just disappear everyday. Of all the violence we hear about on the
news, we rarely hear the stories of these boys. Its as though no one even
expects them to survive so their loss is not newsworthy.
.
There are forces in America today who want to take us back. They are
suppressing voting rights across the country and encouraging legislatures
like that in Georgia to expand the right to carry and use violent
weapons.This tragedy is a reminder to all those concerned about justice
that we cannot be complacent. There is no door that closes, no wall that
is built, no line drawn in the sand that prevents us from going back. The
only prevention is us.
.
We must get informed, know the history, be aware of current attempts to
change progressive law. We must advocate and struggle against regression
and injustice and march in the streets if necessary to dramatize the need
for justice.
