LOS ANGELES (CBS) A rally expected to draw prominent civil rights leaders is scheduled to take place at a Los Angeles church Thursday to mark the two-month anniversary of Trayvon Martins death.
The rally starting at 5:30 p.m. at the West Los Angeles Church in Christ at 3045 Crenshaw Boulevard will be attended by the Martin family, NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Todd Jealous, the Rev. Al Sharpton, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, and Bishop Charles Blake, who preaches at the church.
Several celebrities are expected, including Stevie Wonder, Chaka Kahn, David Banner, Paul Rodriguez, radio host Big Boy and Magic Johnson
The rally is being held in part to advocate for crime victims , educate young people on conflict resolution techniques (and) increase public awareness against all forms of profiling, the NAACP said in a statement.
Additionally, this event will commemorate the two-month anniversary of Trayvon Martins death, it said.
Showing up in South Central to whip up hatred against white people is extremely irresponsible.
Zimmerman should stage a rally in east LA!
It is disgusting when parents use the death of their child to make money.
Hope the Korean shop owners are stocked up on ammo.
Franklin plates don't always go up in value.
It's not like his DNA donors can't make another welfare check.
Jesse will show up in a huge limo with darkened windows and will be treated like royalty. This just shows how dumb these people are.
By the way, does he fly by private jet?
Comunity porganized fashion , designed to destroy opour rukle of law, is heating up.
It is now in pre riot mode.
The riot mode will occur when another “incident” occurs, or when the State of Florida’s prosecution of the Zimmerman case does not proceed as dictated by the NAACP, the New Black Panthers, and the Obama administration.
Where is Ruibio on this? I havelst all respect for him and his gubinatorial “leadership.”
Florida is ruled by a Vichy government, selling the right to citizen due process to the occupying fascist Obama administration. SHAME!

The one silver lining I see is that they will be addressing conflict resolution. Perhaps they realize (if they didn’t before) that their son escalated the incident by confronting Zimmerman and then jumping him.
I would like to see them focus on that aspect, in the same way that Beth Holloway started advocating for students and parents taking more precautions in choosing spring break vacation spots.
Conflict resolution? Seems a little out of place at this sort of event.
Will there be classes on Methodical Looting, Let’s Make This Another Katrina, The Tea Party hates Black People, ‘Cuz Eric Holder Said We Could and Food Stamps: Not Just For Food Anymore?
They’re using Jesse Jackson’s airplane.
I’m pretty sure I just read a quote from “NO_LIMMIT_N*GGA’s” mother saying it “was not a racial issue.” I guess she changed her mind...
Rally at 5:30 PM.
Recreational rioting to follow after closing prayer.
There is no such thing as a “two month anniversary.” Anneversaries mark years, not months. I think these people want to mark the 20th anniversary of the Los Angeles riots with a re-enactment.
Yeah, but look at the other foci
I’m sure we could suggest other topics.
“What the law says is a crime.”
“Caring about your appearance means healthy self-esteem.”
“Stay in school, it is cool.”
Gold diggers.
As a mom who has lost a daughter, these actions are not what grieving parents do. I still can not go into certain stores, restaurants, etc we use to go to and she died in 2004. Just my $.02. I don’t know why but they remind me of Cindy ?.
