VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. (WFTV) -- A group of Trayvon Martin supporters walked from Jacksonville to Sanford, where they dedicated a memorial for the teen at a museum late Saturday afternoon.

The demonstrators arrived in Sanford late Friday, ending what they called the "Walk for Dignity," which started in Jacksonville.

The group held a community forum Saturday afternoon, followed by a dedication of the Trayvon Martin memorial at the Goldsboro Westside Historical Museum.

"The most important reason why we're here, we want a system that treats us equally," marcher Estefania Galvis said.

The group's six-day walk from Jacksonville to Sanford was organized to bring awareness of what it believes are injustices due to laws relating to stand your ground. It's an issue that hasn't quit since Zimmerman was found not guilty of murder in Martin's death.

Additionally, the group is calling for the resignation of State Attorney Angela Corey, who was the special prosecutor in the George Zimmerman case.

"She is the representative of the system that has failed us. That's the first step, we want a new system," Galvis said.

The marchers also went door-to-door in the Sanford community earlier on Saturday to egage and connect with local residents.

Anyone who ever moved landscaping stones will recognize, that monument was a lot of work.
What are those red things either side of the marker (?).
Piss tubes?

You have got to be kidding? Really? I'm surprised they didn't engrave “Saint Trayvon Martin” on it.

What a HUGE bunch of imbeciles

What a bunch of damned idiots. If he had gone home, he would still be alive”””

He DID NOT even live in Sanford.

He was there because of his chronic bad behavior at school in MIAMI-—where he lived!! He was visiting ‘Dad’ & Dad’s’ girlfriend.

IF Trayvon hadn’t been a punk thug on the way to a life of serious criminal behavior, this never would have happened.

Ironic—using paving stone to ‘give Trayvon a tribute’!!!

Is this a direct insult to anyone who thinks that getting their head bashed into a sidewalk won’t figure this out???

Now the weapon is PORTABLE?????

Very good! I like that!

Maybe then add a head gripper dummy that wears a hoodie and smashes their heads into concrete. It will not stop until they grab a “gun,” aim it at the dummy, and pull its electrical trigger to stop the smashing. You could have a digital readout that displays the time. If you beat one minute, you get a bag of skittles. Best time of the day gets a case of watermelon iced tea.

If you don’t pull the trigger, you eventually die from the head injuries.

Want to take bets on how long before some thug-wanna-be tags it?

Looks like a great place to take a leak to me.

he doesn’t deserve one.....three times he could have gone home and lived, but his culture and lack of respect for authority made him choose poorly.

It does seem to have a limited pool of people who would be willing to visit. Not too much history at the history museum.

Great system now if we can make it happen in 2014.
