CDT Reports 9 Months Later, Still Looking for Answers

Brett Pallotto for the CDT reports:

Iyun Osagie started the year moderating a Martin Luther King Jr. Day speech delivered by Trayvon Martin’s mother at Oregon State. She ends the year mourning the loss of her son, Osaze, nine months after he was fatally shot by a State College police officer.

“It’s not a club I wanna belong to,” she said Friday, sitting on a tan couch in her State College home. “... This was someone I never met in my life, but the university asked me to be the moderator. That’s the only reason I was on the same stage with her, not knowing that practically two months later I would be grieving the loss of my own child. It really was just beyond belief.”
