The Country goes "HoodsUp" for Trayvon Martin.


Everyone is aware of the tragic murder of the innocent, unarmed Florida teenager Trayvon Martin. Everyone is also aware of the way the local and country-wide community has responded to this chaotic act of injustice and possible racism. George Zimmerman, the man who murdered Trayvon, has not been arrested yet, due to his claim of "self-defense." People are extremely unhappy and disappointed. And I am too. 


Rallies, protests, vigils and "hoods up" movements 
have occurred all across the country, and they will continue until justice is served.

Even the NBA and the "Miami Heat" have been involved in showing their support for Trayvon and his family. These star athletes are sporting hoodies and sneakers, paying tribute to the late 17 year old.

In this post, pictures are worth a thousand words.....

The Miami Heat went "Hoods Up" for warm ups. 




People of all sorts are coming together.
