Students at Schools across the District Use Their Voice to Raise Awareness around the Death of Trayvon Martin
Thursday, March 29th, 2012March 29, 2012 – Students at seven schools across the District have requested the opportunity to show solidarity and raise awareness around the death of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin. Martin was shot and killed February 26th by a neighborhood watch volunteer, George Zimmerman. Since hooded sweatshirts “hoodies” are a violation of many school dress codes, students at seven schools have requested permission to don a “hoodie” tomorrow Friday, March 30th, and their principals have agreed to support this request.
At Pittsburgh Stevens K-8 students will be doing more than wearing “hoodies.” Students at the school have organized a march to raise awareness around Martin’s death that will take place tomorrow. Students at the following schools will be permitted to wear hoodies for the day: Pittsburgh Brashear High School, Pittsburgh CAPA 6-12, Pittsburgh Carrick High School, Pittsburgh Colfax K-8, Pittsburgh King PreK-8, and Pittsburgh Milliones 6-12.
