Tracy Martin wants his son, Trayvon, to be remembered as this century's Emmett Till, and have his death reawaken the nation's lagging civil rights movement.
"We want him to be known as that child of central Florida who galvanized the country," said Martin, who was a guest speaker at Nassau Community College on Wednesday.
"We would like to see his name in the history books of modern days, taking his place beside Emmett Till [though] Emmett Till has a legacy I don't think any African-American child will surpass."
Till, 14, was killed in Mississippi in 1955 after being accused of flirting with a white woman.
More than five decades after Till's lynching helped ignite the battle for civil rights, Trayvon was shot and killed in a confrontation with a neighborhood watchman while the teen was returning home from buying Skittles and Arizona iced tea....

It wasn't iced tea.
Trayvon just lost his knockout game yo.
Well, I can understand him wanting that. It's better than him being known as the punk that assaulted an armed man, and lost.
was cravyonne flirting with a creepy azz cracker woman?
why the comparison with emmet til??
has Daddy Martin been smoking CRACK??
Maybe Tracy should’ve devoted some energy to actually being a father when his son was alive... then he might still be here.
“We would like to see his name in the history books”
He will be known as a two bit punk and Tracy Martin will
be known as his opportunistic failure of a father.
How many Crips do that?
He should be remembered as that child of central Florida who was not as innocent as some would have us believe.
“We want him to be known as that child of central Florida who galvanized the country,”
and it was so.
Americans went to their nearest gun dealer and armed up even more in memory of the Dear Departed, A.K.A. “St. Martin of the Purple Drank”.
Hey Tracy, one problem with that; your punk son’s history.
Going at it anyway they can to make money from the death of St. Trayvon.
They should get some pointers from the family of M.L. King Jr. on how to milk a death for the last penny.
Whatever free crap do they still need they have housing phones food! oops no car no gas! 0 can make this happen with his pen and Ph!
This will allow for more lawless feral yutes to kill rape and pillage the country!
TM was not how to become a law abiding US Citizen! And who’s fault was that MR and Mrs Martin! TM would have been happier in a Gang House rather than live @ home!
I’m getting pretty tired of the “poor us, we are downtrodden” meme. There is a black president and AG. Before that we had a black WOMAN Sec of State.
Watching as little tv as I do...most actors and anchor people are...you guessed it...black. Most athletes on professional and college teams are...black.
I don’t have a problem with these things. But quit whining!!
Trayvon was a hoodlum as far as I can tell.
Translation: Trayvon’s Dad’s out of bucks. Time to go to the well again. These tools of the Left are always surprised at how quickly the gravy train leaves Victimhood Station.

To make Drank to get high. As Zimmerman was going back to his vehicle to get into Trayvon doubled back to catch him off-guard before he go back to his vehicle. Martin was observed by witnesses as being on top of Zimmerman and slamming his head on the concrete.
The MSM always forgets these small detils which change the entire context of what happened.

Personally, I find the comparison of the two offensive. Martin was not Emmitt Till, and Zimmerman is not J.W. Milam.
Still, we’ve seen far less deserving cases. If cop-killing scum like Mumia and an unrepentant gangster like Tookie Williams can be transformed into civil rights heroes by the misguided left, y’know?
Well the stupid hispanic honky shot the guy as he was beating his head into the concrete sidewalk...
He should hung for protecting his own life..
No wonder he was carrying a gun.. he would be Dead or maimed otherwise..
Damned honky... ( /snide )
