On the heels of events held nationwide regarding Trayvon Martin, a 17-year-old black teen shot and killed in Sanford, Fla., last year, passionate students at Georgia Southern University hosted a rally of their own. On Tuesday, more than 50 students gathered at the steps of the Russell Union rotunda for what was billed as a "Speak Out or Be Silenced" rally, hosted by the Georgia Southern University Chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Multiple rallies, held in several U.S. cities, last week were organized in response to the fatal shooting of Martin by George Zimmerman, a Neighborhood Watch volunteer, and Zimmerman's subsequent acquittal by a Florida jury.
