Trayvon Martin's mother: 'Racial profiling is still alive'
The mother of Trayvon Martin told a large crowd Thursday in Utah that racial profiling and injustice are still alive and that the death of her 17-year-old son is more about "the person who thought he was suspicious."
Sybrina Fulton was invited by the University of Utah to speak Thursday as part of the university's 30th annual Celebration of the Life and Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
This year's theme is "Beneath the Hoodie: A Look at Racial Profiling in America."
Fulton's son, a 17-year-old black Miami high-school student, was fatally shot in February 2012 by George Zimmerman. A jury in Seminole County acquitted Zimmerman in July of murder, backed by Florida's Stand Your Ground self-defense law.

BTW, some of those reader comments are horrific.
