Trayvon Martin, an African-American teen, was shot to death on February 26, 2012 by neighborhood watch participant George Zimmerman, who is Hispanic. Trayvon was unarmed. Zimmerman says it was self defense and has not been arrested. The shooting and lack of arrest have sparked protests nationwide, and has re-opened the discussion about race and profiling of African American males.
On the next Another View, we convene a special round table to talk about the issues surrounding the killing of Trayvon Martin. We'll bring you the latest on the investigation, and delve deeply into the subjects of black male homocide, race relations and profiling. Join Roger Chesley, columnist for the Virginian-Pilot; Carol Pretlow, political science professor with NSU; community activist Bill Thomas; and journalist, talk show host and author Wil LaVeist on the next Another View, Friday, March 30 at noon on 89.5 WHRV-FM, or stream us whrv.org.
