Orlando Sentinel: “Communists gather to protest on eve of Trayvon Martin trial”
June 9, 2013 | Revolution Newspaper | revcom.us
On June 9, the online edition of the Orlando Sentinel—the largest circulation newspaper in Central Florida, ran an article titled “Communists gather to protest on eve of Trayvon Martin trial” along with a photo of revolutionaries and others displaying the following quote from Bob Avakian:
“No more generations of our youth, here and all around the world, whose life is over, whose fate has been sealed, who have been condemned to an early death or a life of misery and brutality, whom the system has destined for oppression and oblivion even before they are born. I say no more of that.”
The article quoted Noche Diaz saying, “We came out to bring a delegation to show that people down here who are facing this aren't fighting this alone," and "People are taking this fight around the country to connect the struggles of Trayvon Martin with the struggles of injustice against the whole system of mass incarceration of black and Latino youth."
And it reported, “The protesters appeared for about an hour and chanted, "Trayvon did not have to die. We all know the reason why. The whole system is guilty."
