Saturday night. Impromptu march. I got this report in:

“there was a march in memory of treyvon martin of about 40+ people on
friday which started on thayer street and made its way down to as220.
it was pretty darn good for something that got thrown together in 2 hours.
some chants for future marches were:
no justice no peace, treyvon rest in peace!
and
you killed treyvon, and now it’s on!”

 

Sunday night at 6 pm. Community Forum on Trayvon Martin Murder. Great, thoughtful and heartfelt discussion, about 50 people for two hours. Photo from my camera phone attached.

 

Sunday night at 7 pm. March from Central High School to Burnside Park. I got this report in:

“There were about 13 people. I did not have pictures of the march because I was in front of the line, holding the sign. But there was someone there with a camera. I can get a picture for you. “
