A rally expected to draw prominent civil rights leaders is set to take place at a Los Angeles church on Thursday to mark the two-month anniversary of Trayvon Martin's 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 comes as news broke that the man believed responsible for Martins death, George Zimmerman, has taken down a website devoted to helping raise money for his legal defense, a spokesman for his lawyer said Wednesday.
The website www.therealgeorgezimmerman.com was no longer functioning as of Tuesday, said James Woods, a spokesman for Zimmerman's attorney, Mark O'Mara.
Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder in the shooting death of the 17-year-old Martin in February. He has pleaded not guilty and is claiming self-defense.
O'Mara has hinted that he will ask Zimmerman to be declared indigent, which would allow taxpayers to pay for his legal bills.
Any income from the website would make that process more difficult. The website was created almost two weeks ago by Zimmerman's family to thank his supporters and to receive donations from anyone who wanted to help with his legal defense.

I am guessing this will be another self-congratulatory bunch of people presuming Zimmerman’s guilt and Martin’s abject innocence, all without evidence.
It yesterday’s news guys. If there’s a place where the truth is finally understood, and the late mr. Martin is there, I’m sure he’d be counseling you to get in with whatever life you have left.
You can count of Jackson to “keep hate alive”.
pshaw. He's black and he's dead. That makes twice a victim of the white man.
Whens the event for Kala?
Kala Marie Golden Schuchardt was killed by a black owned for her baby.
It’s the 20 th anniversary of the LA riots. They may try staging a “re-enactment”.
Then here's hoping Little Stevie is driving........
It turns out Zimmerman is part white, part Hispanic, and part black. The only part these race baiter's are attacking is his white part. Go figure! They're giving his Hispanic and black parts a pass.
I heard Stevie Wonder is one of the State’s Prosecution Witnesses.
Someone needs to ask Magic if George Zimmerman should have just taken his beating like that Giants Fan in the Dodgers Parking Lot.
The Braille Institute is right off the 101 Freeway, so....
Why do they hate latinos?
How did Magic Johnson get AIDS?
"That ---- ain't funny ! Stevie Wonder is a musical genius ! *wipes nose* That's terrible ! That's terrible, man ! Your mother brought you up wrong.....Then I suppose in your little sketch, Stevie crashed into a tree, right? Ha ha, very funny, m------!"
I don’t know what the truth about the whole Zimmerman matter is at this point, but if this noise turns into an Emily Litella moment for the media and the race hustlers, there has to be some sort of restitution for what I view as criminal behavior.
I don't know if the new owner of the L.A. Dodgers is wise to attend an event attempting to lynch a not so white Hispanic guy.
OTOH the only part we hear about the usurper in the WH is the black/Kenyan part.
