Haliburton, who grew up in predominantly white Oshkosh, Wisconsin, said his interest in Black history and social justice was initially sparked after 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot to death by George Zimmerman on Feb. 26, 2012. “At that time, I was 11, about to be 12 years old, and to learn about that and seeing the pain in my pop’s eyes,” he said. “You know, I had my parents having to sit me down and talk to me about the world that I was entering as a kid, really, that the world I was going to be entering. Yeah, I think that kind of sparked everything for me. And, it was hearing my dad have dialogue with people about that situation. I think that started me to really get involved in what’s going on.
