Valerie Castile, Sybrina Fulton and More Slated For State of Black America (Part 1): Mothers Speak Out Panel at Circle of Sisters

Mothers of black children were who victims of violence will be speaking at the State of Black America Circle of Sisters panel discussion on Saturday October 15th at the Jacob Javits Center.

State of Black America panel

Tragedy has stuck our community by leaps and bounds; for these mothers, it hit much closer to home.  Valerie Castile, mother of Philando, who was shot to death during a police traffic stop; Sybrina Fulton, mother of Trayvon Martin, who was shot and killed after an altercation with George Zimmerman; Wanda Johnson, mother of Oscar Grant, who was shot by a BART Police officer; and attorney Benjamin L. Crump come together, collectively standing up to fight against violence.  They do not want the death of their sons to have been in vain.
