Rest in Power The Enduring Life of Trayvon Martin

"Rest in Power: The Enduring Life of Trayvon Martin" is a non-fiction book written by Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, the parents of Trayvon Martin, a teenager whose death by shooting sparked national protests against racial violence. The book, published nearly five years after Trayvon's death, aims to heal and share the life of their son before he became a symbol of racial injustice. Fulton reflects on her journey from being an "anonymous" American to becoming an activist against gun violence, noting that her efforts failed to prevent other tragic deaths, such as those of Jordan Davis, Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, and Eric Garner.

The book alternates between the perspectives of Fulton and Martin as they recount their lives before and after Trayvon's death. They describe how Trayvon was a普通少年 trying to navigate life before becoming a martyr. The publication details include release dates in the US (January 31, 2017) and the UK (February 1, 2017). Reviews praise the book for its intimate portrayal of Trayvon and detailed account of events following his death, with USA Today awarding it three and a half stars and The Washington Post calling it a "beautiful, searing account."

The book is part of a broader movement, as noted in the "See Also" section, which references "Mothers of the Movement," highlighting the role of mothers advocating for justice and change.
