Omari Hardwick says Trayvon Martin video tribute goes deeper than Trayvon
By EURweb
EURweb was the very first news outlet to speak with actor Omari Hardwick about his powerful and remarkable PSA, “LITTLE BLACK BOY WONDER: A Tribute to Trayvon Martin.”
In part I of this exclusive interview we caught up with him during a power outage in the Cayman Islands; where he saw the finished product and admitted to crying tears that turned to joy as he watched.
Hardwick engaged us with his inspiration for writing the poem that ended up being the verbiage at the heart of the work, expressed by the iconic African American male actors in the video. The words were his direct response to an email sent by the two women creators of Icon Mann, expressing their ill feelings about the Zimmerman verdict. We continue now with part II of the interview that was so compelling to this writer, it is being shared in its entirety, verbatim.
Omari continues to speak on what led him to use the poem he had written to create the video.
