Justice for Trayvon: A Search for AnswersTrayvon Martin

MIAMI -- The contrasting emotions of two parents grieving over the gunshot slaying of their teenage son were evident following the big rally in Miami attended by thousands of people demanding justice for Trayvon Martin.

Sybrina Fulton and Tracy MartinIn an exclusive interview granted to NSBNews.net, New Smyrna Beach's 24/7 Internet newspaper, inside the tinted windows of an SUV and away from the glare of the media cameras, Trayvon's mother, Sybrina Fulton, continued to shed tears, even as she spoke of hope in a loud and clear voice.

Trayvon's father, Tracy Martin, his Florida Marlins cap casting a shadow over his weary face, echoed the feeling of hope while defending the honor of his son and that of the family in general in a hushed voice.

Though emotionally drained from the two-hour-plus rally, Fulton said she as energized and enthused by the show of support at the rally.

"We are not alone in this fight for justice," Fulton said. 

After being hammered by media questions regarding their desire for the arrest of the shooter George Zimmerman, NSBNews.net focued instead in the interview on their personal feelings beyond that.

Tracy Martin saw the crowd's demand for justice as coming down to "what's right and wrong."

Asked why the demonstrations have remained peaceful and without trouble, unlike the melee that occurred in the NCAA college basketball Final Four win by Kentucky over Louisville where cars were turned over and burned and a shot fired in the direction of a cop, Trayvon's dad said the non violence demonstrated at the Trayvon rallies is a testament to the two of them promoting peace.

"We'd like for the rallies to be peaceful," he said. "We believe there will be a peaceful resolution."

Sybrina Fulton was emphatic in that hope for a peaceful resolution not only for her son, but for others moving forward: "Change will be made as a result of Trayvon Martin. There are gonna be many changes in the way people think and the way the laws are written. I believe that is the bottom line and that is our focus right now -- to change some laws so it doesn't happen to another child."

NSBNews.net is the second Florida-based media outlet to have an on-camera interview with Trayvon Martin's parents, following the Miami Herald.
