Protest march held in LA against insjutice

A large march was staged Monday evening in downtown Los Angeles where marchers protested against all cases of injustice against the African Americans, including Trayvon Martin, the 17-year-old fatally shot in Florida by a neighborhood watch captain. "I've had to add names to this list, and it's just heartbreaking," organizer Zsanae Davis, 32 told nbclosangeles.com. Davis referred to the 28-year-old father who was killed after shielding his son from gunfire in front of their Inglewood home last week as part of the impetus behind the gathering, sparked by the Martin case. Monday's demonstration hoped to connect the City of Angels to the nation's capital through a nationwide campaign. Demonstrators delivered letters to City Hall demanding justice for Trayvon and asking for changes to the controversial Stand Your Ground Law, which allows deadly force in cases where the person feels threatened.
