More than a year after the Voting Rights Act, Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his 'ballot box' speech urging Black voters to vote despite the danger they faced. Over a half-century later, the VRA has been gutted, but the vote is just as powerful.

17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed by George Zimmerman, who claimed he shot the teen in self-defense. He was acquitted. The death moved conversations about racial profiling to the national level.

Rest in power, Trayvon.

Trayvon Martin was born in 1995.

He was killed in a racist murder in 2012. His death sparked a national conversation about racial profiling and — after the man charged in his killing was acquitted — the Black Lives Matter movement.

Abducted and murdered by the KKK in 1964, Henry Hezekiah Dee and Charles Eddie Moore didn't receive justice. It was a cold case until decades later, when Moore's brother began his own search for the truth. Rest in power.
