‘I AM TRAYVON MARTIN’

Spread The Love

Monday was the one month anniversary of the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.  To commemorate the day, churchgoers on Sunday wore hoodies to their local churches, while many supporters donned hoodies and carried Skittles and Iced Tea this week in a show of solidarity for Trayvon.

But what’s most interesting in this story is that the supporters are black, white, young, old, famous and ordinary.  For an issue that seemed so divisive, it sure appears to be bringing people together.  Take a look at those who say “I AM TRAYVON MARTIN.”
