And The Beat Goes On...
Miami road to be named after Trayvon Martin
A Florida road will be named after a Black teenager whose death by a neighborhood watch volunteer in 2012 catalyzed a movement for racial justice.
The Miami Herald reports Trayvon Martin's name will be added to a section of an avenue that leads to a high school he attended in Miami-Dade County.
Martin was shot dead in Sanford, Florida, at 17 while on a visit with his father.
The teen was unarmed and walking back from a convenience store with candy when he was shot by George Zimmerman.
… I know what you’re thinking: Is it intellectual dishonesty—or is it intellectual deficiency? To tell you the truth, the symbiosis between those two conditions makes it difficult for me to distinguish any difference…
If the myth of innocence of Trayvon Martin is allowed to stand this close in time to a comprehensive accounting of the true “sworn” facts, it will probably stand forever.
Theologians refer to this sort of thing as “the noetic effect of the fall.”
