Portraits of Trayvon

von Stephanie Denise Johnson

44 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

In this publication, you will find images of Martin supporters at various rallies and vigils protesting the injustice surrounding the fact that the Sanford police failed to arrest George Zimmerman immediately following his murder of Trayvon. Of course, Zimmerman was eventually arrested after the pressure from concerned citizens swelled into a large tidal wave drenching our country in an emotional call to action reminiscent of those characteristic of the American socio-political movements of the 1960s. With each photo, you will find the information that was available regarding the date, the location, and the event. Few interpretations are given because the images speak for themselves; their rhetoric, while visual, goes beyond physical sight to impact the pathos of our collective zeitgeist: a pathos so profound, it effectively challenges the logos and ethos of arguments persisting in the psyche of a country with a tattered past. This photo book is only a snapshot of this most pertinent discourse.
