In life, their child was just that-a child. But In death, Trayvon became the face of a movement that changed the world through Black Lives Matter. But beyond this legacy is a boy with dreams and passions. Who was Trayvon Martin before he became a symbol of injustice? Through alternating narratives, Fulton and Martin remember their complex, beautiful son while grappling with the brutal realities of systemic racism and a broken legal system.   Years after his tragic and untimely death in 2012, Trayvon Martin's name still resonates worldwide. When mentioned, it evokes the haunting injustice of his killing-a young boy gunned down while carrying his favorite snacks, an iced tea and a bag of Skittles. A life cut short before he could even begin to experience what the world had to offer.This is a story of grief, of what happens when it's exposed to the global spotlight.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49528557961489,"sku":"GOR008154102","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50096801743121,"sku":"CIN1909762571G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50262135177489,"sku":"GOR012457481","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1909762571.jpg?v=1751453713"},{"product_id":"rest-in-power-book-sybrina-fulton-9780812987096","title":"Rest in Power","description":"\u003cb\u003eTrayvon Martin's parents take readers beyond the news cycle with an account only they could give: the intimate story of a tragically foreshortened life and the rise of a movement.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\"A reminder--not only of Trayvon's life and death but of the vulnerability of black lives in a country that still needs to be reminded they matter.\"--\u003ci\u003eUSA Today\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eNow a docuseries on the Paramount Network produced by Shawn Carter\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Years after his tragic death, Trayvon Martin's name is still evoked every day.
