Bridgewater (Va.) College students are planning a “March for Justice”
to protest the shooting death of Trayvon Martin in Florida. The march
is planned for March 26, starting at 6 p.m., according to a release from
the college. Marchers will wear hoodies and walk from the Kline Campus
Center down Dinkel Ave. to a 7-Eleven store where they will purchase
Skittles and a bottle of iced tea--items found on the body of Martin,
who was shot and killed by a neighborhood watchman who has claimed self
defense. After making the purchase, the group will march back to the
college mall for a candlelight vigil. The march is organized by Visible
Men, a college-based enrichment program that “focuses on meeting the
unique needs of underrepresented male students through leadership,
personal, career, and professional development.”
