His legacy lives on through scholarships, laws scrutinized in his honor, and documentaries telling his story. Filmmaker Ava DuVernay’s upcoming film “Origin” will humanize Martin by starting with a scene from the last night of his life.

Trayvon Martin’s birthday serves as a reminder to keep his name alive and work towards meaningful change in his honor.
