ROLAND MARTIN:  This week, of course, Trayvon Martin, Tom, would have turned 18 years old, and there’s a number of events taking place this weekend to honor his life, but also to keep the attention on his story as well as the upcoming trial of George Zimmerman.  And so we’re joined this morning by Sybrina Fulton, his mother.  Also attorney Ben Crump.  Sybrina, Ben, good morning.

BEN CRUMP:  Good morning.

SYBRINA FULTON:  Good morning.

ROLAND MARTIN :  So Sybrina, let me start with you.  So this weekend you guys have a big walk planned there in Miami.  There’s a dinner there also on Sunday.  So tell our listeners about that and the purpose behind these events this weekend.

SYBRINA FULTON:  Our focus is just to keep our son’s legacy alive.  So we decided to put this together to, you know, to just come together and something alternative to violence.  We wanted the young people, and we asked the young people to come out with their parents and just enjoy the day and have a good day.  What we’re calling it is a Peace Walk, it’s going to be Saturday the 9th at 10 o’clock a.m.  It’s going to be at Attica State Park.  The location is 20901 Northeastern Avenue, it’s here in Miami, Florida.  And we’re just asking everybody to come out, we’re going to have different motivational speakers, of course we’re going to do the peace walk.  And then on Sunday is our benefit dinner for our foundation.  It’s going to be our first annual dinner.  That’s going to be Sunday.  That’s going to start at 5 o’clock.  And it’s going to be at the Double Tree.  And I also have a number of people interested in tickets because I’m missing 27 tables, my goal was a hundred.
