[mpoverlay]The parents of murdered Florida teenager Trayvon Martin will be panelists at a Miles College community forum on Thursday. The forum will broach conflict resolution without violence in communities and among young people.

Martin’s father, Tracy Martin, and mother, Sybrina Fulton, have been touring the country speaking about the social issues raised by their son’s death, (Miles Dean of Chapel Larry) Batie said.

“We are having a forum on issues facing the youth of today,” Batie said. “We are talking about some of the social issues that led to this incident. We’re not dealing with the aspect of the trial.”  (The Birmingham News)[/mpoverlay]
