Skating in Loving Memory of Trayvon Martin
Music: Jabril/They Don’t Care About Us
Coaching: Brandon Michael Larcom
Choreography: Brandon Michael Larcom/Denise Moore
This program qualified for National Showcase (4th Place).
The original “Jabril” performance was a tribute to my cousin, Darrick Collins, Sr. On September 14, 2009 he was fatally shot by a sheriff’s deputy through the wooden fence of his backyard. He was unarmed. The death of Trayvon Martin on February 26, 2012, urged me to reprise the program. They were not the first. Others have since perished in the hands of those obliged to “protect and serve”. Get involved and stay active. Its time to change the laws and police the police.
Thanks for watching.
