Trevon Bosley
Following the shooting in Parkland shooting in Florida in February, a number of black students used the momentum to highlight violence in their own backyards. One of them is Trevon Bosley a Chicago student, who headed to Washington, D.C., for the March for Our Lives protest that called for the end of violence in his hometown.
“I’m here to speak for those youth who fear they may be shot while going to the gas station, the movies, the bus stop, to church or even to and from school. I’m here to speak for those Chicago youth who feel their voices have been silenced for far too long. And I’m here to speak on behalf of everyone who believes a child getting shot and killed in Chicago or any other city is still not an acceptable norm,” said the 19-year-old who lost his brother to gun violence in 2006.
