As George Zimmerman was acquitted of man slaughter and 2nd degree murder exactly a week ago the fight for justice continue!
Trayvon Martin’s parents, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin are joining Al Sharpton for two protest and vigils today in both New York and Miami at 12 P.M EST.
Sharpton will lead one rally Saturday along with Martin’s mother outside police headquarters in New York, while a planned demonstration in Miami, near the home where the 17-year-old Martin lived, will be led by his father and Martin Luther King III will lead the vigil in Atlanta.
Sharpton has said he hopes continued public pressure will force the Justice Department to bring a civil rights case against Zimmerman.
