WOW! NY Daily News unbelievably powerful front page following the Zimmerman verdict

[calimary]

38. I hope you're correct, mountain grammy. This just makes me feel so sad.

I keep thinking how I felt the night Barack Obama was first elected. I was exultant! What it symbolized to me was that it seemed like proof that America HAD turned a page, at long last. That we had finally worked through the worst of the racism that blights our history. That we'd grown up a little bit as a nation.

Wrong again.

Just makes me so sad. But it also strengthens my resolve - that we will NOT turn the clock back, and if such is attempted, we will NOT let that effort stand. I probably won't be here to see it, either, but I hope your words ring true. For the sake of our country, we all should work toward that, tirelessly and relentlessly. And let this tragedy fire us up, anew.

Because Trayvon Martin, and that of the other victims listed on that cover, must not be allowed to have died in vain.
