4. Trayvon’s Parents

For the last 17 months, Trayvon Martin’s parents demanded accountability from the justice system for their son’s death. They expressed their pain to the world and weren’t afraid to shed tears along the way. Now that the verdict has ruled against their best wishes, Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fulton left a few final worlds of gratitude for everyone on Twitter.

“Even though I am broken hearted my faith is unshattered I WILL ALWAYS LOVE MY BABY TRAY,” Martin tweeted. “Thanks to everyone who are with us and who will be with us we together can make sure that this doesn’t happen again.”

He added, “God blessed Me & Sybrina with Tray and even in his death I know my baby proud of the FIGHT we along with all of you put up for him GOD BLESS.”

Fulton wrote, “Lord during my darkest hour I lean on you. You are all that I have. At the end of the day, GOD is still in control. Thank you all for your prayers and support. I will love you forever Trayvon!!! In the name of Jesus!!!”
