Trayvon Martin’s Mother to Speak in Kalamazoo March 29
Sybrina Fulton, mother of Trayvon Martin and outspoken activist, will visit Kalamazoo March 29, 2017 as part of Western Michigan University's spring Lyceum Lecture Series.
The series began January 18, and a variety of topics following the theme of "Fulfilling America's Promise: Racial Equity and Justice" will be covered.
