"Rest in Power": Trayvon Martin's Parents to Release Book on Their Son
----------------------------------------------------------------------

People across the country took to social media Sunday to commemorate
what would have been Trayvon Martin's 22nd birthday. Instead, the
unarmed African-American teenager was shot and killed by white
neighborhood watch vigilante George Zimmerman on February 26, 2012,
sparking nationwide protests. On Tuesday, a new book written by Trayvon
Martin's parents will be published. It's titled "Rest in Power: The
Enduring Life of Trayvon Martin."
