Thousands gathered in front of the Georgia State Capitol Monday afternoon declaring to be one person: Trayvon Martin.
As it was exactly one month ago today that the 17-year-old of the same name was gunned down in Sanford, Fla. by a neighborhood watch captain claiming self defense. George Zimmerman told police dispatchers the hooded Martin looked suspicious as he walked through a gated neighborhood. But he was found unarmed, carryiny a bag of Skittles and a can of ice tea.
Zimmerman remains free under Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law, and in protest underneath the Gold Dome many were spotted holding Skittles and tea, and wearing hooded sweatshirts as the thermometer pulsed past the 80 degrees mark.
The “I Am Trayvon Martin” march and rally was organized by student leaders, local state and regional members of the Georgia Legislative Black Caucus, the Rainbow Push Coalition, NAACP, National Action Network and other groups.
“This is not a moment!” WAOK announcer and community activist Derrick Boazman declared. “We’ve got to make this a movement!”
