Church in Jacksonville, Texas where the speakers
and others convened to express their |

concerns
about the Trayvon Martin murder and to
give encouragement to young people who
participated.
As citizens
around the states march and gather
peacefully in support of the Trayvon
Martin family who request an arrest in
the murder of their son, local youth and
adults join in support. “We are feeling
the hurt and confusion over the murder
of Trayvon Martin. My name is Trayvon,
says 14 year old Jacksonville
Trayvon Lolar, and it could have been
me. I wear a hoodie. I want to change
people being stereotyped. Me being
a young black man and not doing anything
and being shot for it or getting
put in jail or getting accused of
something you never did. I’m just
thankful that it wasn’t me it happened
to, “ he says.
