Demond Wilson was best-known for his role on the 1970’s sitcom Sanford and Son. He played Lamont, the son of Fred Sanford. Fred was played by actor Redd Foxx, whose real name was John Sanford.

Notice how Redd Foxx was born on the 9th of December, or 9/12, syncing up with Demond’s and his character’s names:

Whenever I think of Sanford and Son, I think of the 2012 killing of Trayvon Martin. Martin was killed in Sanford, Florida, and his middle name was Benjamin, or Ben. In Hebrew, the word for son is spelled בֵּן (bet nun), which is pronounced as ben. So you could say the son was killed in Sanford.

That fact that Trayvon’s last name was Martin is certainly no coincidence. The story of his tragedy unfolded in strict numeric accordance with the assassination of Martin Luther King, the victim of perhaps the most influential assassination of an African-American.

Another fact that transcends coincidence is that the man who was ultimately acquitted of his murder was named George. Eight years after the slaying, a man named George Floyd died in police custody, sparking mass unrest all over the nation. That took place in Minnesota – the same state that’s been at the center of the news cycle due to those pesky ICE shootings.

This series of posts will examine how all of these events are interconnected.
