The New York Times recently published a new interview with Jay-Z about the six-part docu-series, “Rest In Power: The Trayvon Martin Story.”

Jay who’s the executive producer of the series which premiered on Paramount Network last night, spoke to Aisha Harris over the phone and said he “hopes the documentary will educate and enlighten people — particularly those who have doubts about the case — but to change backward laws like stand-your-ground, which contributed to George Zimmerman’s acquittal,” according to the article.

Aisha Harris: With the Kalief Browder documentary, about a teenager held at Rikers Island for three years without trial, you were hoping that it would change certain laws around solitary confinement for juveniles. Is the hope that something similar can happen with regard to the Stand Your Ground laws?

Jay-Z: Yes, absolutely. Again, it’s an educational process. This law, we have to get people to understand what it says. Of course, he will not be found guilty. It’s very difficult to be found guilty with this law as it stands today.

The system doesn’t work as it exists today. No one wants to talk about that because it’s as if you are bashing police officers. I’m not bashing police officers. I’m just saying the facts do not support this being the answer, the system as it stands today.

Jay also touched on Harry Belafonte, who previously Jay-Z and Beyoncé “turned their back on social responsibility,” and whether or not it’s black celebrities duty to be speak out on social issues.
