Three time Champion of the Miami Heat, Dwyane
Wade is gracing the cover of Ebony Magazine in support of Trayvon Martin. What
makes this cover so powerful is the fact that not only is D Wade on the cover,
but so are his two sons & they’re all wearing hoodies in honor of Trayvon.
This unfortunate situation must really hit home for Dwyane because he’s so
passionate about his children & I think parents all over the world are
saying to themselves “That could have been my child.” Which is why the headline
going across the cover “WE ARE TRAYVON” is so appropriate.
Justice has not been served & in
order to keep conversation about race alive in American & to explore the
“Stand Your Ground” laws Ebony has produced a special edition for September
that includes three additional covers. They include the murdered teenager’s family, Sybrina
Fulton, Tracy Martin & their son, Spike Lee with his son, as well as
actor/model Boris Kodjoe along with his son.
The magazines include an exclusive in
depth interview with Trayvon Martin’s parents. Spike Lee, Boris Kodjoe & Dwyane
Wade speak on how they approach the touchy subject of racism with their sons.
There is also an article about racial profiling written by Marc Lamont Hill,
who is a professor at Columbia University & a HuffPost Live host. Bishop
T.D. Jakes lends a prayer of healing, a poem for Trayvon is included written by songstress Jill Scott & there’s so much more. I think all four of these issues are a
must have. Will you all be picking them up when they hit stands? What do you
think about this persistent fight for justice? Do you think justice will ever be served?
