Letter from Dekalb
County Jail
MAY 10,2012
Written by Min. Hashim Nzinga
To the Martin Family:
Jesus Christ is on his knees praying to his and our Father in this
hour, that he lift your burden. Believers and nonbelievers all know
that on February 26th,
a wonderful and loving son Trayvon was stolen from your family.
Thank God you both had a spirit in your souls to roll the rock from
his tomb and let his spirit live through your words. The bones of
African-American people are spread all over America and are often in
fragments. Your young beautiful son’s spirit has awakened the “dry
bones in the valley.” I thank God for being real in our mist. All
faithful saints’ prayers do live.
I write you this letter from the Dekalb County Jail, where I’ve been
held since March 26th,
after I was on live broadcast on CNN, to announce that the New Black
Panther Party, under the leadership of our great young and brilliant
Attorney Malik Zulu Shabazz, and I as the national chief of staff.
We responsibly identified our constitutional rights to offer a
$10,000.00 reward for anyone that could keep up with this Zimmerman
whom we fear would try to leave the country. We also, under the
United States Constitution, gave the city of Sanford, Florida and
the United States Attorney General—our brother—Eric Holder that we
were following protocol of issuing a citizen’s arrest and that we
could prove probable cause. We would make it our mission to bring
in the murderer George Michael Zimmerman, who is still with his
father and mother Robert and Gladys Zimmerman.
Communities all over America felt the same. Thank God for your
insistent engagement for your son, which caused Special Prosecutor
Angela Corey to make the right move, even though it took from
February 26 to April 12.
Now the real fight starts. My sister and brother, we know we’ve
been here before, but this time I pray that God will be the
prosecutor, and then I know your family will receive justice that is
due. And after that good night of sleep, you--as did little Emmit
Till’s mother, our late sister Mrs. Mosely—will be right back on
your marathon mission to canvass this nation, telling the story of a
great pain that will one day soon promise to make us a better
people. Ironically the tragedy has caused some self hate and Black
on Black crime to cease.
Mr. and Mrs. Martin, our national administration team took a lot of
heat for our position on the issue and expression thereof, but it
was very necessary given the circumstances, and we do not apologize
for it.
It made the system turn to you and our brother Reverend Al Sharpton
and others. I was supposed to be down there, but as I stated
earlier, was arrested and withheld very soon after my announcement
of the citizen’s arrest reward. However, I hope my 20-year friend
brother Roland Martin sent word of our love. We are the Malcolm X’s
and Marcus Garvey’s of our time, but history shows us that they made
a way for Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and W.E.B. DuBois. This
country always needs both.
We love you, and if there is anything we can do, call on us at
202-369-9986. And if either of you feel in your heart to write
back, please feel free to at:

Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for
theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
