Remembering Trayvon One Year Later
Yesterday was the 1 year anniversary of the shooting death of Trayvon Martin. Using the flimsy “stand your ground” defense, his killer, George Zimmerman still walks free!
Trayvon’s parents marked the anniversary of his shooting death with a candlelight vigil in New York City. Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin were joined by actor Jamie Foxx and a crowd of about 200 people last night in Manhattan’s Union Square Park. They lit candles and held a moment of silence at 7:17 p.m., the exact time Martin was fatally shot on February 26, 2012.
“I’m the mother of two boys,” Trayvon’s mother said. “I have one son on earth and one son in heaven.”
