How to Raise and Protect Black Boys in the US: The New ebook by Prof. Clydewell: Walking While Black: Trayvon Martin and My ‘Suspicious’ Black Boys - The Burden of Black Boys in America and the People Who Love Them"

This may be the first ebook on the struggle for justice for Trayvon Martin.  It is a documentary of the public outrage and the nightmarish obstacles to arrest a killer.
Book Review:
"Walking While Black: Trayvon Martin and My ‘Suspicious’ Black Boys - The Burden of Black Boys in America and the People Who Love Them" is a tribute to Trayvon Martin and all the black boys who got shot just for Walking While Black. As a father of black boys, I've had 'The Talk' with my sons and daughter. This talk has developed over the years and turned into a set of principles that all parents can apply to their own boy-raising situation. This ebook is a series of attempts at explaining the causes of the public outrage over the killing of the unarmed 17-year-old African American boy carrying back a purchased bag of skittles and a can of iced tea to surprise his stepbrother, his cry for his "mom, mom, mommy" on that dark and rainy night, his desperate howl for help when he was facing the barrel of his killer's 9mm handgun, and the ensuing response of the Sanford Fla. Police Department. Weeks after the killing and funeral, Trayvon's killer, claiming self-defense, remains a free man. Questions abound. From all over the country, people are signing a petition to have George Zimmerman arrested. Trayvon Martin's parents only want an arrest. Overcoming obstacles, they are determined to fight for an elusive justice."
