To conclude our 5 inspirational figures during Black History Month, we're wrapping it up with Trayvon Martin. A young man whose life was tragically taken but inspired an entire generation.

Trayvon Benjamin Martin, was a 17-year-old African-American boy from Miami Gardens, Florida, who was fatally shot in Sanford, Florida, by George Zimmerman, a 28-year-old Hispanic American.

Following Martin's death, rallies, marches and protests were held across the nation. An online petition calling for a full investigation and prosecution of Zimmerman garnered 2.2 million signatures & a national debate about racial profiling and 'stand your ground' laws ensued.

Gone but never forgotten!

Jean-Michel Basquiat was an American artist who rose to success during the 1980s as part of the Neo-expressionism movement.

Basquiat's art focused on dichotomies such as wealth versus poverty, integration versus segregation, and inner versus outer experience.

Since Basquiat's death at the age of 27 from a he**in overdose in 1988, his work has steadily increased in value. At a Sotheby's auction in May 2017, Untitled, a 1982 painting by Basquiat depicting a black skull with red and yellow rivulets, sold for $110.5 million, becoming one of the most expensive paintings ever purchased.

Zora Neale Hurston was an American author, anthropologist, and filmmaker. She portrayed racial struggles in the early-1900s American South and published research on hoodoo.

Hurston was born in Notasulga, Alabama, and moved with her family to Eatonville, Florida, in 1894. She had an interest in African-American and Caribbean folklore, and how these contributed to the community's identity.

She also wrote fiction about contemporary issues in the Black community and became a central figure of the Harlem Renaissance. Her short satires, drawing from the African-American experience and racial division, were published in anthologies such as The New Negro and Fire.
