Justice For Trayvon Rally To Be Held At Saint Paul’s College

March 28, 2012 - PRLog -- Student Government Association President, Krystal Humphreys announces that the students, faculty, and staff of Saint Paul’s College (SPC) will attend a rally for Trayvon Martin on the campus of SPC, Thursday, March 29, 2012 at 3 p.m. in front of the cafeteria.

They're asking people to show up wearing hoodies.

On February 26, 2012, Martin, a17-year-old Florida teen, was gunned down by his neighbor, George Zimmerman, who says he felt threatened by him.  Investigators say Martin was unarmed. Zimmerman was never arrested or charged, and that's what has created a National controversy.

Rallies have been held across the country and the calls for justice have caused the police chief to temporarily step down.

The community is encouraged to attend the rally.
