Smithsonian Eyes Trayvon Martin Hoodie for Museum Exhibit
ABC News ^

The hooded sweatshirt Trayvon Martin wore the night George Zimmerman shot him to death could end up on display at the Smithsonian Institution.
The shirt became a powerful symbol of the case after Zimmerman described Martin as wearing a "hoodie" the night he killed the teen, claiming self-defense. Protestors across the country wore hoodies in support of Martin as they called for Zimmerman's arrest, prosecution and conviction.
A Florida jury acquitted Zimmerman last month, finding too little evidence to convict him of second-degree murder or manslaughter.

What they really need is the section of sidewalk TRAYVON was using to soften GEORGE'S head on.
Now wouldn't that make an interesting exhibit.

The level of denial on this is incredible.
What if GZ drilled a hole in the shell casing and wore it around his neck?

They should put Zimmerman’s gun on display too. Right next to the hoodie.

No worries. I’ve been to the Smithsonian more than twice and the black’ wing of the Smithsonian is so far off almost no one looks or visits there. Let them have their racist, scum artifacts.

I lost interest in the Smithsonian museum when they decided a few years back to present US history through the eyes of Cornell West & Angela Davis.

10 years ago, this would be something from The Onion. How it is reality. They have been hiding in the weeds for fifty years biding their time while they got stronger, and now that every organization has been infiltrated, they are revealing themselves.

All this cr@p got started when Reagan was in office. All the whackos from the Carter administration fled to institutions, corrupting them.
Before the Enola Gay, it was removing the welcoming display of a saber toothed "tiger" attacking, out of respect for the animal.
Everybody wanted to have a picture of themselves posing next to it.
