Building Bridges, the National Edition
with Mimi Rosenberg & Ken Nash
*******
Thousands Continue to Rally for “Justice for Trayvon”
As legal experts continue to deconstruct the “not guilty” verdict in the George
Zimmerman trial — the man accused of murdering Trayvon Martin — an ugly
truth rears its head again: racial disparities are alive and well in our criminal
justice system. “In truth, when African-American boys and men are killed by
non-blacks, more often than not, justice will not be served. Trayvon Martin is
the latest name on a long list of African-American men and boys whose
non-black killers escaped justice in America's courts — a list that runs from
Emmett Till to Amadou Diallo to Oscar Grant to Sean Bell. Meanwhile,
"Justice for Trayvon" rallies and vigils continue to be held throughout the
country. And, Building Bridges brings you highlights of the New York rally,
where the Rev. Al Sharpton demanded that the Justice Department pursue a
federal civil rights case against Zimmerman and called for a rollback of
stand-your-ground self-defense laws. Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton, also
spoke to the New York crowd. "Today it was my son. Tomorrow it might be
yours," she said.
