"It was a political, legal, and moral mistake to not put race at the center of this trial because it was at the center from the beginning of this terrible case, says Jim Wallis, President of Sojourners. "If my white 14-year-old son Luke had walked out that same night, in that same neighborhood, just to get a snack, he would have come back to his dad unharmed -- and would still be with me and Joy today. Everyone, being honest with ourselves, knows that is true. But when black 17-year-old Trayvon Martin went out that night, just to get a snack, he ended up dead -- and is no longer with his dad and mom."
The Bay Area's own Dr. Brenda Wade speaks with Dr. Drew on CNN's Dr. Drew as he continues to discuss allegations of race in the Travon Martin case.
