Trayvon Martin's mother choked back tears as a crowd of 2,000 New Yorkers chanted "We love you" - one week after George Zimmerman was acquitted of murder by a Florida jury in the fatal shooting of the unarmed black teenager.
Across the nation, hundreds marched in the heat of a summer Saturday (local time) to rally at federal courthouses in Miami, Chicago, Los Angeles and other cities, demanding "Justice for Trayvon."
In Miami, Tracy Martin told about 300 supporters of his son's cause that, after the acquittal, he has "come to realize George Zimmerman wasn't on trial - Trayvon was on trial."
In New York, hip-hop mogul Jay-Z and singer Beyonce, his wife, arrived at one of the largest of the protests organizer Rev. Al Sharpton said were planned for 100 cities nationwide.
Martin's mother stifled sobs as she told the crowd: "Not only I vow to do what I have to do for Trayvon Martin, I promise I'm going to work hard for your children as well."(continued)

Yours don’t count if they’re white.
Seems like Trayvon is more valuable to her dead than alive. Oops, did I notice that? Sorry.
What I mean is why she refers to her son as Trayvon Martin. It seems detached somehow. Not motherly.
At least Cindy’s son was a loyal American soldier.
The left think Trayvon is the new Emmitt Till, but he’s more like the new Horst Wessel.
Seems like people had much better things to do with their time. A good omen.
In other words, I want my piece of the race-pimp pie!
I thought Martin’s parents would accept the verdict
Trayvon’s parents share the blame for his death. They should have taught him not to assault people, to respect people and to be kind. Had Trayvon learned those lessons, he would be alive today, and the race-baiters would have to look for another unfortunate incident to fuel their demagoguery.
Maybe of the civil rights and civil suit trials, if they win.
Wow. Just think, what things would be like if she had cared about trayvon to make her marriage work, taught him about God, and kept him from thuggish friends.
Too late! Justice for Trayvon was already served. In case you forget it 9mm of justice; it seems a waste to do more now!
Why don’t we just protest every darn verdict that comes down from judge OR jury? Why not just become a nation of anarchy? Hey, why don’t I protest the stupid judge that decided Detroit shouldn’t file for bankruptcy? Let’s just have trial by mobs and let the lions decide-zero can sit on his throne with thumbs up or thumbs down. Wait! That’s what he IS doing. We’ve become freakin’ Rome.
0 and his friends are truly people of lawlessness.
I wonder if the sales of Skittles has gone up or down? I never heard of Skittles before this but now I would not buy them if I was starving that was the only thing in the store.
we are dancing very close to black folks insisting that a black guy can’t be guilty because he’s black.
and we are dancing very close to letting that fly.
Awe heck, them ain't marching protesters, it's just one big family reunion.
Fizzle fizzle St Skittles protests...
Both of them are bat-shit crazy.
At the trial when momma Tray was played the 911 audiotape of the screaming she was asked by the prosecutor who that was screaming... her answer "Trayvon Benjamin Martin" ... not "my son." It was a very very cold answer as she was lying through her teeth. It appears her whole motivation is to now sell T-shirts with the Trayvon Martin trademarked memorabilia!
