By Kassie Roberts–
On Monday afternoon, about 60 University of Louisville faculty, staff and students flooded the Bingham Humanities quad in a walkout to protest and rally for Trayvon Martin, a black teenager who was killed last week in Florida.
Controversy surrounds the case on the fact that George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer who killed Martin and later claimed self defense, has not been “brought to justice.”
Zimmerman claims that Martin posed a threat.
Those rallying were very enthusiastic about spreading the word on what they considered a “social injustice” in that Zimmerman has not been charged with the murder of a young man.
The rally’s purpose was not only to bring justice to Trayvon’s case, but to also spread the word about social justice in the Louisville community.
