Demonstrations were held in hundreds of cities across the country yesterday to demand justice for Trayvon Martin and the prosecution of his murderer, George Zimmerman.  I spoke at the rally in Seattle yesterday about Trayvon, the school-to-prison-pipeline, and how when my son asked me what had happened to Trayvon, I couldn’t find the words to explain.

If you have advice for speaking to preschool aged children about the Trayvon Martin murder, please share with me and my readers in the comment section for this post–I know a lot of us are trying to figure out how to talk about this with our children.
