Recently MSNBC interviewed Diallo McClammy, one of our high school seniors, as part of a panel discussion on the Trayvon Martin tragedy.
Growing up black in America
As the death of 17-year-old African-American student Trayvon Martin launches to the forefront of national attention, Melissa Harris-Perry and her guest, urban school district consultant Jawanza Kunjufu, seek to find out what it's like to grow up like Martin. Joining them on the show are Diallo McClammy and C.J. Morrison, both 17 years old, and 16-year-old George Nunez, to share their life experiences of growing up as young black men.
