On February 26, 2012 Trayvon Martin was killed by Neighborhood Watch leader in a small, gated Florida community. His death has rippled through many corners of the nation's justice and political system and raised questions about the relationship between the black community and police in small towns. Everytime I hear this story on the news I feel sick, angry, and disgusted! Its close to almost a month and his killer hasn't even been arrested. Crazy right?! If the roles were to be switched up it would have been a whole different story !
In the past 48 hours this case Ignited protests, including a "Million Hoodie March" in New York City planned today, a protest Wednesday outside the Florida Division of Licensing, urging state officials to withdraw George Zimmerman's concealed weapons permit and a rally Thursday in Sanford led by civil rights activist Al Sharpton. Also thousands and thousands of people have signed a petiton for the arrest of trayvon killer, George Zimmerman.
My heart goes out to Trayvon's family and I hope justice is served! No justice No peace!!
