Flashback: George Zimmerman Is Black

Black roots: This photo shown on CNN’s Piers Morgan Tonight is said to show George Zimmerman’s great-grandfather. Above is Zimmerman’s grandmother, and his mother is in the man’s arms Excerpted from The Daily Mail, May 11, 2012: A photograph of a well-dressed black man holding a baby is reportedly of George Zimmerman’s great-grandfather – and could become a crucial piece of evidence in his murder trial.

The 28-year-old’s family and legal team have repeatedly asserted that he killed the unarmed 17-year-old on February 26 out of self defense rather than because of his race. Zimmerman’s family members have insisted for months that he is no racist. Last month, an investigation by Reuters portrayed George Zimmerman as a trusted aid to most of his black neighbors in the gated community of Sanford, Florida that was plagued by a string of burglaries in the weeks leading up to the shooting of Trayvon Martin.

Orlando attorney Mark NeJame appeared on CNN’s Piers Morgan Tonight on Thursday with the photo and said it originated from someone in the family. It shows a middle-aged black man in a shirt and tie with a baby on his lap and young woman standing behind him. The baby is thought to be Zimmerman’s mother, and the young woman his grandmother The man is Zimmerman’s great-grandfather, NeJame told the network, the baby is Zimmerman’s mother and the young woman is his grandmother.
