Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin Retain Agency
(The following is a copy of the press release. We wish Sybrina and Tracy the best in their endeavors. )
Trayvon Martin’s Parents, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, Retain American Program Bureau as Their Exclusive Speakers’ Agency.
NEWTON, Mass., Nov. 13, 2013 /PRNewswire
American Program Bureau (APB) is proud to be named the exclusive speaking agency for Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, the parents of Trayvon Martin. Since the death of their son, Fulton and Martin have committed their lives to transforming tragedy into change, working to ensure the survival of every child through education and thoughtful conversations about conflict resolution.
The publicity surrounding Trayvon’s death and the ensuing trial catapulted the country into national debate.Facing increasing demands to speak publicly, Fulton and Martin are retaining the services of APB to schedule and manage their speaking engagements. Both Fulton and Martin are available to speak individually, or as a combined program. In addition, the couple’s legal team of Benjamin Crump and Daryl Parks also are available to accompany Fulton and Martin – or can appear individually – pending schedule availability.
A Miami native, Sybrina Fulton has become an inspiring spokesperson for parents and concerned citizens across the country, lending her voice to speak against violence towards children and the need to build safer communities. An honest and relatable speaker, her message not only appeals to people’s hearts, but is also one of hope and change, exemplified by her personal experiences and endeavors. As a mother, she inspires audiences to continuously educate their children about civil rights and to help them feel accepted as part of an ever changing society.
Much like Fulton, Tracy Martin has taken his role as proud parent and channeled his efforts to promote the broad societal shift required to ensure that a similar incident never claims the life of another child. Martin’s message of change extends to families from all walks of life, encouraging parents, relatives, caregivers and teachers to let their sons, daughters, and other loved ones know that their lives are valuable and to stress that they are loved no matter how society views them. Although his son is gone, Martin hopes Trayvon’s death helps to heal the country and acts as motivation for parents and caregivers to keep fighting for the safety of all children
American Program Bureau is honored to manage and host these honest and influential conversations, which can be customized to meet the needs of diverse audiences from colleges and legal professionals to community and business organizations. Through their inspiring and thought provoking presentations, Fulton and Martin are hoping to encourage the positive changes that can help keep every family safe.

I agree, and look at what they have had to deal with, the loss of a child. They sat through the pain of having their son looked at as though he was a criminal and watch the Zimmerman fans celebrate the aquittal of the man that killed their son. A killer with no regrets.
I would say to the Zimmermans and their fans, “A picture paints a thousand words.” Sabrina and Tracy lost their son and they have held their heads up high with dignity and grace. When the Zimmermans appear in front of the media, all we hear is about the death threats they say they recieve, and their loss is money. They can’t even talk to George, because they are afraid the phones are tapped. Their son they raised to be the man he is today, who took the life of a young man walking home in the rain, who has no regrets, is alive. Sorry.
Kudo’s, It takes alot to raise not only one loser, but two.

Making lemonade from lemons!! How jealous do you think Jr. Is as that is what he so desperately wanted and although an educated speaker, chose the wrong issue. This is sweet revenge.;-)
I think papa zi is feeling a little why not me? Tubby is too stupid and classless to ever entertain the hope anyone would want him as a speaker; even the racist nutters felt he was an idiot on the Hannity show.

@2dogsonly, you really do see these “great” in everything!! You are so right about poor pathetic Jr and his dreams of stardom from the murder of a 17y/o kid his own brother killed. he really did think this was his ticket to the big time! i would be funny if it wasn’t so discusting.
i remember complaining about why Bill Mare was encouraging him by telling him he may have a future in show business. but i felt better once i got online and saw ppl laughing at Jr for not realizing Bill was just using him as the “freak show” for his real quests!
My friend and i were just talking a few hours ago about this too!
before the trial Jr apparently bought a couple of those follower packages.
my friend would keep track of that, she also found out how many followers were fake. and a few weeks ago i noticed that he was also paying for Twitter to advertise his profile! so today i was pointing out that since then he’s lost well over 1000 followers on twitter and so even more than a 3rd he still has are fake!!

Xena, thank you for your sweet compliment! I think Sabrina and Tracy were coached as to the necessity of remaining calm and dignified (as the trial was going to be in Sanford). I think we will now see some of her mother’s rage. Not a lot because she and Tracy understand they must appeal to a broad audience in order to be heard and anger is a real buzzkill for almost everyone,probably even more so coming from an AA. They are intelligent and quick learner and they will know they can get their message out if they deliver it so it is heard, aka MLK.
But we will see some flashes of her true feelings.
However, I also believed Judge Corrupt and BDLR were putting on a real trial so take above with a huge grain of salt.;-)

and i am happy to see the family is doing this and i like the company’s statement. Sometimes Sybrina would be a little too diplomatic, like when she said that she though it was an accident. but it just proves how peaceful that family is. Sybrina was so naive at first she couldn’t fathom that the killer was just a plain old cowardly lying child killer.

Hey Shannon!
It is hard for me to believe that since the 1970’s, there are people like George Zimmerman walking the streets of America — and walking with a gun.
I mean, look at the hurricanes that came through Florida in one year. The wind and water, devastation, did not discriminate. All human life is so fragile. If natural disasters do not teach mankind that there is no superior race, then what will?

I just went to the speaker’s site. BOY oh BOY!!! They do not contract with just anyone. You have to already have a name before they will sign with you! Really big time agency.
I bought the domaine name trayvonmartinlegacy.com but never could get a response from Mr. Crump so I told go daddy to release it just three days ago. I wanted to donate it to them, of course. Tried to buy zimmerman is innocent.com, to keep it off the web, but it was already sold.lol
I’ll call their agency rep. to tell him. Could not believe the dot com name was available and neither could the ” go daddy” registrar. I had just listed my personal info as owner and he called back suggesting I put it under private due to the hateful emotions. So I did. I would feel so proud to be able to present this to them. His death and legacy are standing for so much more than what anyone imagined.( dream defenders!!)

@2dogsonly. Why not do the site yourself? I don’t think there’s a site that presents the scholarships, tribute songs, and other good things that honor Trayvon’s legacy. That could be such a site.

Yep. More of their double-standards. It’s okay for Zimmerman to kill an unarmed kid and beg for strangers to pay his bills, but not okay for the parents of that unarmed kid to speak before groups who want to hear them speak and are willing to compensate them.
At least Sybrina and Tracy are earning their speaking fees.

Thanks Yahtzee. You have got to listen to his 911 call. He refuses to open door to police saying” I don’t have anything to say to them”. Dear god, he is a stupid man. He calls 911 while police are outside. When operator says why are you calling me if police are outside? He says I don’t have anything to say to them. Like when police are banging on your door in response to a 911 DV call, you can refuse to open door. He sounds drunk and floundering his answers.
