Former American Idol contestant Jennifer Hudson has joined the chorus of celebrities speaking out against the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the killing of 17-year old Trayvon Martin.
Hudson shared the powerful message of love in an unexpected manner, on a T-shirt with “Love” spelled out with guns and other weapons.
The “Dreamgirls” actress added this caption to the photo: “It’s time to turn all of that into this !!!! LOVE”.
While millions were touched by what appeared to be the senseless murder of an unarmed teenager, Hudson grappled with her own intimate experience with gun violence.
In 2008, Hudson’s mother, brother and nephew were shot dead by a family friend. Around this time last year, Hudson sat in a courtroom as William Balfour received three life sentences in the murders. While both incidents are tragic, Hudson can find some relief knowing that the justice system worked in her favor.
What do you think of Hudson’s T-shirt?
