From National Black United Front:

Every day, the reality of the fate of our young black men becomes clearer and simultaneously more bleek. While we know that justice needs to be served, let us come together and pay respect to Trayvon and his memory and all of the other young black men who have been mercilessly killed by the police. We come together not only for prayer, but to renew the sense of urgency needed for us to come together and protect our children, our families, our futures.

We call on the names of all of our lost ones, to let them know…. WE WILL NEVER FORGET.

The National Black United Front will be holding a prayer vigil in support of Trayvon Martin & his family. We are asking Black people of all backgrounds to come and have an inter-faith memorial/prayer for the spirit of Trayvon Martin & his family.

If you can please bring a candle, a picture of Trayvon or a picture of one of our own ancestors.

Drummers are welcomed also.

For more information email nbufmilwaukee@gmail.com.

We will be meeting east of the King Center at King Park. The vigil will begin at 8:00pm. Our agenda is as follows:
8:00pm – Libation to Our Ancestors
