From Trayvon Martin to Michael Brown, journalist Trymaine Lee has put in really serious work. I had tracked his coverage of Martin and his writings on other issues, including My Brother's Keeper. When Brown was killed, one of my early thoughts was this: maybe people will pay attention if journalists pull a Trymaine.

In my mind, "pulling a Trymaine Lee," meant giving concentrated, long-term attention to the incident. What follows are Lee's articles on Brown and then his writings on Martin from 2012.
