Trayvon Martin Tribute

If you don't know what's going on with all this Trayvon Martin, these Americans have been talking about go to this link.

Basically an African American teenage boy was shot dead, for looking "suspicious". The boy was simply walking home in the rain, unarmed and wearing a hoodie. The thing that was assumed to be a gun was a can of Arizona and skittles.

Now the man who murdered him is walking free and the nation is stunned. Its a repeat of the famous Emmett Till case that happened in the 1950s. Remind you (for foreigners) the U.S was segregated at the time and African American were treated inhumanly and were denied of basic rights.

It's crazy how short life can be. To die at 17. You haven't even lived yet.


When the news broke out, everyone wanted to show their support and rally against racial profiling.

Here are some pics I gather that I thought was aspiring.



Even NY senator decided to wear hoodies in support of Trayvon.

Media really knows how spark up protest. I didn't go far for these pics. I found them all on Facebook. Some were pics of friends, others were pics that were shared. There has been thousands rallies nationwide. I participated in one. Have you?
