Though it’s now been almost two and a half years since Trayvon Martin was shot and killed, the memory of the 17-year-old lives on. Through rallies, activism, discourse and more, the late teen’s name and legacy has become an ever-present part of society.
That continued on Saturday, during the “Trayvon Martin Peace Talk and Walk” at Crenshaw High School in Los Angeles, with the goal to symbolize “the fact that our youth have a right to walk in peace. They have a right to walk without being followed, pursued, chased or murdered,” Martin’s mother, Sybrina Fulton, told MTV News, who was on hand for the event.
In addition to Trayvon’s mother, his father, Tracy Martin, as well as Kobe Bryant and Nipsey Hussle attended and spoke at the event.
