We weren't really relying on traditional media to be able to tell our stories. And it's not like Trayvon was an anomaly. You know, black folks have been getting killed before. But you know the traditional pathways to getting justice was try to hit up your local and media stations, get them to at least publish the story, get that to go to the local lawmakers, etc. But social media as you mentioned becoming really a tool where we said we can, we can tell the world like black folks can be the one that says, hey, this is what's happening, this is what's happening unfiltered.
