Smithsonian has 'no plans' to display Trayvon Martin hoodie [but exhibit to expand at local museum]
Orlando Sentinel ^ | Aug. 2, 2013 | Jerriann Sullivan

Acquiring any object for our museum involves rigorous consultation with a team of museum historians and curators. Any items connected to the Trayvon Martin case – should they even become available – would have to go through that lengthy process."

Curators can't plan for specific evidence from the case to be included yet because it was all transported to the FBI for the U.S. Department of Justice's investigation into whether Zimmerman violated Trayvon's civil rights.

"Trayvon will probably be a bigger history maker than the men before him, because President Obama addressed the situation," said Francis Oliver, curator of the Goldsboro Historical Museum. "As soon as the president commented on it, Trayvon went down in the history books."

Sanford residents constructed five temporary memorials for Trayvon at the shooting site, but each one was removed.

"The home owners association complained to the City of Sanford and the city took them down," Oliver said. "That was one thing that really upset the community."

Guess the Smithsonian caught some heat for contemplating using tax payer dollars to buy the Shroud of Trayvon (Smithsonian Museum Director Interested in Acquiring Trayvon Martin's Hoodie)

The home owners association complained

More like, "We just paid these grifters $1 million + to settle, now tell them to GTFO!!!"

They should display it in the Darwin section of the museum.

Maybe then people would get a clue.

"Trayvon will probably be a bigger history maker than the men before him"

I thought that St. Tray was a 12 yr old boy.

Use it to teach math and the metric system.

“This is what 9 millimeters looks like.”

“How many millimeters would a double tap be?”

“If a bullet travels 1300 feet per second and you start being a gang banging thug wannabe when you are 15, how long before the bullet catches up with you?”

Or maybe to the Holy St. Martin Drive-thru
7-11 and Pharmacy.

Get your skittle of St. Trayvon, indestingushable
from the one the man-child was carrying when he
ascended, comes complete with Mr.T gold chain
and lucite carrying case. $39.95 S&H included.
Choose your color add $5.00.

Yes, I am making fun of the racemongers,
they SO deserve it.
Hey, Al, get over youself, you old school.

Actually why doesn’t the NRA buy the hoodie and frame it and underneath write: “Attempted murder stopped with perfect shot.”

They actually have a website for St.Trayvon or what I like to call St. Traydmark ™ ever since his mother trademarked his name.

Rumors are that to date she has made close to $5 million bucks from this trademarking scheme which I do not doubt in the least being that well known celebrities like serial killer supporting racists like Jamie Foxx have worn the St. Traydmark ™ official gear on national TV.

Attempted murderer Traydmark ™ Martin foundation

There use to be Traydmark ™ tee-shirts, buttons, stickers, posters sold on this site until I exposed the sh*t out of them on Facebook. The families of attempted murderers do not deserve to be rewarded.

Will there be any Trayvon Martin boulevards or highways in the future?

Right? These sycophants think just because their hero Obama addressed the situation it's somehow made thug Trayvon a national hero to Americans. Uh, no.
How about that black affirmative action hire from Harvard, the professor that got pissed because a cop dared to question why he was climbing through a window! Where's his day in the Smithsonian!
