The death of their son Trayvon Martin sparked protests around the country and now, five years later, theyre revealing how their pain has pushed them to become champions against gun violence. Heres my nightline coanchor byron pitts. No justice, no peace no justice, no peace reporter its 9 00 a. M. On the sunny streets of miami gardens, florida. And an american rainbow, young and old, black and white, here to commemorate the life and death of Trayvon Martin. It was five years ago this month when 17yearold Trayvon Martin, unarmed, holding a bag of skittles and the a bottle of iced tea, was shot and killed by neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman. I still want justice for trayvon. Reporter his parents leading the charge to stem the wave of gun violence. Across america an average of 309 people are shot every single day. Whats it say to you all these years later, people still come out like this . It shows how engaged everybody is. That everybody still want to be a part of the movement. Reporter zimmermans subsequent trial and acquittal transfixed the nation. Trayvon martin reporter spark the rallying cry we call black lives matter. There are many who say that Trayvon Martin became emmett till for a new generation of activists in our country. I think trayvon certainly reenergized a Civil Rights Movement in this country. This was a child who lost his life to a senseless act of violence, gun violence, to someone who wanted to be a vigilante. Reporter tracy martin and Sabrina Fulton penned a powerful memoir called rest in power the enduring life of Trayvon Martin, a retrospective look back at the son they raised and a tragic event that would change their lives. Mom, your boy would be 22 years old this month. How are you doing . Fairly well. I still have my good days and bad days. I still think about him and cry. I also think about him and smile too. Youre smiling now. Yeah. Because im thinking about him. If he was still with us, that he would be graduating from college this year. He was very outgoing. Outdoorsman, i used to call him. He loved doing things outdoors. So just to have his life cut short and taken away from him and not to see him continue to do the things that he likes, it was very devastating. Reporter that bullet from George Zimmermans gun pierced Trayvon Martins heart and exposed an old wound in americas soul. We want arrests reporter with no arrests for six weeks, floridas controversial stand your ground law came into sharp focus. Stand your ground lives enormous leeway to people like zimmerman to use deadly force if they feel threatened. Reporter it divided our nation with Many Americans asking, what if zimmerman had been black . If a black man had come into a white neighborhood and gunned down a 17yearold boy, all hell would let loose. Reporter and soon celebrities and everyday citizens made more than a fashion statement. They took a stand. The clenched fist of the 1960s was a hoodie like one worn by trayvon the night he died. Culminating in the hoodie march in new york city. The message made its way to the white house. When i think about this boy, i think about my own kids. If i had a son, hed look like trayvon. Trayvon was dead on the ground at 17, unarmed. And he was given a drug and alcohol test and a background check, but the person who was shot and killed him, who was Still Holding the gun, he went home. My son went to the medical examiners. And this person went and got in his bed as if nothing happened. Reporter fulton and martin have painted a picture of the confusion and frustration that immediately followed. There was Something Else in the book i was struck by this notion that theres this 17yearold boy dead on the sidewalk. Police dont canvass the neighborhood, they dont knock on doors to say, is this your son . Why not . I couldnt tell you that. When i returned to the residence that night, the crime scene tape had been taken down and there was no sign of any altercations on the scene. And so it still isnt clear to me. So trayvon was listed as what, initially . When they took his body in . John doe. We had to fight to get trayvons body back so that we can ship have the body shipped home. We didnt ask for anything that any other parents wouldnt have asked for for a 17yearold. Reporter once the zimmerman trial was under way a year later, martins parents would face another difficult challenge, facing the man who killed their boy. Trayvon was no comparison to somebody that was 28 years old with a loaded gun. He was 17 years old, unarmed, and on the telephone at the time. Not guilty in the George Zimmerman trial reporter zimmerman would walk out of that courtroom a freeman. Of course were shocked and disappointed. Reporter that not guilty verdict would mark the beginning of tracy and sabrinas new life as activists. Trayvon martin was you reporter they founded the Trayvon Martin foundation at florida memorial university. Everything in here is trayvon. Reporter sabrina spoke at the Democratic National Convention Last summer. I am here today for my son, Trayvon Martin, who is in heaven. Reporter campaigned heavily for hillary clinton. Shes even thinking about running for office herself. How does one go from being reluctant to even have your name mentioned in public because you are a grieving mom, to now being someone whos considering running for office . I would not have imagined this but sometimes your life, you are dealt cards and the you need to make sure that youre playing the hand right. What do you expect from President Trump . We dont know what his plans are for gun violence. We dont know what his plans are for the africanamerican community. Are you optimistic . Hard to say. Its hard to say. No justice, no peace reporter at the remembrance march theres lingering sadness over another more recent shooting. Three teens were shot while walking home from Miami Carroll senior high reporter hours later, in the same neighborhood, three teens shot on their way home from school in a driveby shooting. Part what was seems to galvanize people in this movement, it was a white guy accused of killing a black teenager. What happened here last night most likely was black on black. We know that black on black crime is plaguing our community. Its something that we have to deal with as citizens. Just have to work at it piece by piece by piece. Reporter a cruel irony depicting the ugly cycle of gun violence in this case, all three teens are expected to make full recoveries. I would imagine that knowing that your son is the face of a movement has to energize you in some way. But i would also mention, it can be a tremendous burden, yes . I would much rather prefer my life as it was. To have both boys here, to just be going on vacation and going to work every day, and them going to school. But i know that its not just about Trayvon Martin, its about so many other Trayvon Martins. Its about our young ladies being shot and killed. Its about our teenagers being shot and killed. Men being shot and killed. So its so much bigger than trayvon that we really didnt understand initially, but i think we kind of get it now, that its very important that we continue this fight.

Horses, cattle, and a herd of buffalo. Reporter ron says he kept wild thing around in hopes his son would follow in his footsteps. Wild thing, he wouldnt ever calm down, hed keep horning us and kicking us every day. Reporter with some persistence and a whole lot of tlc, ron made white thing into a downright softy, aided in part by an offbeat gill trick his wife. We brought him in, took some pictures to send to friends in europe that we wanted to show them. But i got to noticing he didnt use the bathroom in the house. Reporter sharon got to thinking, why not make this a permanent thing . Why dont we do something different, bring wild thing in the house. He goes, you dont understand, hes a bison, you might not have a house left. And i said, well, you only live once, lets do it. Reporter a reallife bull in a china shop, if you will.

Even stepping in as best man. As the couple renewed their wedding vows. I couldnt picture life without wild thing. He is my best friend. And i enjoy just being with him. One thing about him, you know hes not like a dog. Youve got a dog in the house, you may trip over it. Youll never trip over a buffalo. Reporter a fair point. Hes hard to miss. Bison are the largest land mammal in north america. And can be dangerous. We were fixing to be tramples. 2015 this bison selfie went horribly wrong, brandy tossed into the air when a bison caught up with her. It happened so fast but seemed like it took forever. It was quite painful. Reporter 2015 alone, five people were attacked by bison at yellowstone. The park telling us these animals can sprint three times faster than humans can run. Can you get through . Reporter ron acknowledges this is not a pet for everyone. No way id recommend a buffalo as a house pet except to somebody thats been around cattle a lot. I was a rodeo clown for 12 years. And somebody thats experienced with wild animals and that can handle them. Come on, wild thing.
