Father of a 16 year old... I don't know
What I would do if I was in that
Situation, but I know that justice must
Be served."
"We have been following the tragedy
That has happened with Trayvon,"
Explains Wendy Morgan, Gramps'
Manager, "and after reading a report
That he was a lover of Reggae music
It humbled us to have someone of
That age love our music. We wanted
To do our part to pay respect to his
Young life and contribute to help
Keep Trayvon's memory and legacy
Alive."
