Trayvon Martin now Mike Brown: What Will a Black Mother Tell Her Son? - (a DeAara Lewis Monorhyme)

http://www.deaaralewis.com   / deaaralewis   The acquittal of George Zimmerman for the murder of Trayvon Martin fueled the fear for African-American mothers in the United States. Much has been written about how the verdict and racial profiling affects young African-American men, but little has been written about how it affects African-American mothers.
