    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     Trotfilms shot this video yesterday of Pastor Jacqui Lewis of New York City's Middle Collegiate Church giving an impassioned speech on the killing of Trayvon Martin. 'She was definitely emotional and fired up about it,' he said. 'The speech was pretty to-the-point, no holds barred.'
