Justice for Trayvon Martin walk this Saturday in Grand Rapids

April 4, 2012

This Saturday, there will be another march/walk in Grand Rapids in response to the brutal murder of Trayvon Martin in Florida on February 26.

Last week, an estimated 1,000 people marched in Grand Rapids to protest the shooting and murder of Trayvon Martin. Students at GRCC are holding a silent protest today at 3:15pm and GVSU students are holding an event on Thursday at 5:30pm on the Allendale campus. All these events clearly demonstrate that people are outraged by what happen and want to demonstrate some sort of solidarity.

The event in Grand Rapids begins at 222 S. Division at 5pm. People are asked to bring signs and wear a hoodie or all black. More details of the event can be found on Facebook.

    Thanks for adding this. Excellent analysis. It will be curious what happens after these initial protests and whether or not people will have a much broader and systemic analysis of the problem.
