The name of Trayvon Martin has become trope in the 21stcentury, which crystallizes US racial politics regarding Blackness, specifically the Black male. The works included here imply that Trayvon Martin, as trope, reverberates in the most conscientious of 'US'; and, this epic tragedy is one that has plagued 'US' since Africans and people of African descent first arrived to the Americas.
