As the Trayvon Martin case continues to play out, yesterday we saw the cry for justice reach International levels. In London, a rally took place at the US Embassy in support of the Martin family. The scenes that have become so familiar over the past few weeks domestically, of hooded citizens demanding the arrest of George Zimmerman, took over the London streets.
Parliament member Diane Abbott had the following message for the masses. “His case speaks to the demonisation of young black men here and in North America. Trayvon should never be forgotten.”
