Are the parents getting all these threads and pretty jewelry because someone forked over some moneys? If so, looks like Zimmerman was the best thing for them.

This bachelor’s degree is designated for students studying to become pilots. Martin’s parents, MS. SYBRINA FULTON (also a FMU graduate) and MR. TRACY MARTIN, will accept the degree on behalf of their son. Fulton and Martin are social justice activists who co-founded The Trayvon Martin Foundation at Florida Memorial University. In their book, "Rest in Power: The Enduring Life of Trayvon Martin: A Parents’ Story of Love, Injustice, and the Birth of a Movement" (Penguin Random House), Fulton and Martin address Trayvon’s aspirations of becoming a pilot and the camp sessions he took with Mr. Irving.
“As we approach 50 years in Miami Gardens, this commencement holds a special place in all of our hearts. This academic year is symbolic of the transformative changes that we continue to make to our academic programs that extend to benefit the community, such as our Cybersecurity degree program and Cyber Warrior Diversity center that offers certificates to local residents and professionals,” said Dr. Roslyn Clark Artis, president of Florida Memorial University. “Of special significance is awarding posthumously the Bachelor of Science Degree in Aviation to Trayvon Martin. Sybrina, our alum, epitomizes strength and dignity as she uplifts other victims of violence while effecting change for a more equal and just society.”
The University will also host a post-commencement fundraiser and reception in support of FMU’s Department of Aviation and Safety. Florida Memorial University is also one of four universities in the U.S. that is a designated CESSNA pilot center. The department of Aviation and Safety is chaired by Dr. Arnold Tolbert. The post-commencement fundraiser and reception will also support The Trayvon Martin Foundation, headquartered at FMU. The private reception will take place on campus.

ABOUT TRACY MARTIN
Since the 2012 death of his son Trayvon, in a violent confrontation, Tracy Martin has committed his life to transforming tragedy into change. Despite his devastating loss, Martin was able to channel his immeasurable heartache into the immense strength needed to elicit positive change. He now is fighting for 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. He encourages 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. He also emphasizes the dangers of judging a person’s character based solely on their appearance, as represented by his son’s iconic hoodie sweatshirt.
Although his son is gone, Martin hopes his tragic death helps to heal the country, acting as motivation for parents and caregivers to keep fighting for the safety of all children.
Through his thought-provoking speeches, Martin helps foster the necessary conversations that can help keep every family safe from needless violence. By sharing his personal and powerful stories, Martin encourages diverse audiences – from colleges and legal professionals to community and family organizations – to become more educated on ways to keep their loved ones safe and to empower themselves to become catalysts for social change. With Sabrina Fulton, Martin is the co-author of "Rest in Power: The Enduring Life of Trayvon Martin: A Parents’ Story of Love, Injustice, and the Birth of a Movement."
