Martin vigil soundoff

(03/28/12 4:00am)

Students, faculty, staff and members of the Durham community gathered on the steps in front of Duke Chapel to hold a vigil in memory of Trayvon Martin, a 17-year-old black male who was shot and killed Feb. 26 in Sanford, Fla. The shooter, George Zimmermann, claimed to have seen Martin engaging in suspicious activity and said he shot Martin in self-defense. The event brought up allegations of racism, sparking outrage, protest and dialogue across the country about the role race plays in the American legal system. The vigil was planned by freshmen Adesuwa Giwa-Osagie and Ba’Carri Johnson and featured Mark Neal, professor of African and African American studies, as the keynote speaker. The Chronicle’s Kelly Scurry spoke with attendees at the vigil to hear their thoughts and remembrances of Martin.

It is easy to forget that, as students of Duke University, we are also residents of the City of Durham. Voting is one of the most important ways to engage civically in our community.
