OFCI Report: Editorial, Are We Still Treyvon Martin

Not to long ago the flames of justice were burning high for justice for the tragic killing of the young man Treyvon Martin gunned down by one George Zimmermen. People all over the world were crying loud for justice to be brought foward. They marched, did television and newspaper reports. People even went as far as taking photos in a hoodie in support of Mr. Martin and posting them on their various social network pages with the words in the caption "I Am Treyvon Martin". It was a fitting tribute at the time and it was wonderful to see people from different races, backgrounds, and social statuses get involved in support of this tragedy. Now, let's fast foward sometime later.as the case has yet to go to trial and murders of other young black men has taken place, what we don't see is the support and still out cry for justice and change for Treyvon or any of the other victims savagely gunned down in our streets. The I Am Treyvon Martin hoodie pics have come down, and the cry for justice has seem to become a whisper. Now I understand that people have their own lives and cares to worry about...and for many of them their own loads seem too hard to bear let alone the load of someone else. But the question I have is, do we only cry loud for justice when it is the story of the hour and when the story is over we just move on to the next big thing? How many remember Jena Louisiana, people from politicians to priest got involved in this story, but as soon as it seemed they could milk the story for all the free publicity they could get....Jena Louisiana and the Jena 6 became a distant memory like bell bottoms. People, injustices never stop, and fighting for justice so you can get on the bandwagon and feel a sense of importance will not help it go away...If you are gonna cry for Change and Justice for Victims dont just do it when the spotlight is on you and you can gain from it. Noooo, do it when the cameras are off, when no one is looking at you, because when the cameras are on you when you are fighting shows your charisma, but when the cameras are off and you can fight when know one is watching that shows your character. Treyvon is still dead, and his killer has not received justice yet. Continue to let your voice be heard about social injustices even when it seems no one is listening. Because believe me, it only takes one voice crying in the wilderness to attract the
attention of the many. Continue the fight....It's worth it....
