"When Trayvon Martin was first shot I said that this could have been my sonAnother way of saying that is Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago." -President Barack Obama; "Given the unconscionable shooting deaths of young black men, many by police, that followed Trayvon's, this galvanizing testimony from parents who channeled their sorrow into action offers a deeply humanizing perspective on the crisis propelling a national movement."-Booklist (starred review); "Not since Emmitt Till has a parent's love for a murdered child moved the nation to search its soul about racial injustice and inequality. Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin's extraordinary witness, indomitable spirit and unwavering demand for change have altered the dynamics of racial justice discourse in this country." -Bryan Stevenson, author of Just Mercy
