Trayvon Martin.

I've given this a lot of thought, and I actually think the most influential person of our time is Trayvon Martin. His lynching sparked a revolution that affected every aspect of our lives and culture, from politics and the presidency to art, music, and fashion.

We still see it. https://t.co/UPPwSjj9Pv

Dear Trayvon Martin,

I do not know you.

What I do know is the day I saw you on every news channel, I knew you were deeply loved.

I do not know you.

What I do know is your story and the injustice that happened.

I do not know you.

What I do know is you will never be forgotten.

I do not know you.

What I do know is your story is inspiring.

I do not know you.

What I do know is your truth.

Rest in Power.
