Omari Hardwick

African American actor Omari Hardwick, who has appeared in several Hollywood movies including Spike Lee's World War 2 drama, 'Miracle At St. Anna', 'Kick Ass' and Tyler Perry's 'For Colored Girls', was so shaken by the 'not guilty' verdict handed down to George Zimmerman in his trial for fatally shooting Trayvon Martin, that he felt compelled to write a poem to express his feelings. The end result was a deeply moving piece entitled 'Little Black Boy Wonder'.

Hardwick then enlisted the help of several actors including Eric La Salle, Marlon Wayans, David Oyelowo, Gary Douran and Bill Duke to help present the poem in video form. 'Little Black Boy Wonder' is dedicated to Trayvon Martin. An emotional, worthy tribute to the slain teenager.
