Do I look suspicious??

What does our appearance say about us? What we wear, our body language, our style of communication...
The 'hoodie' has become a topic of debate as an item of clothing and what it represents, as well as the ongoing issues of race and skin colour stereotyping.

The fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman took place on February 26, 2012, in Florida, USA.  Trayvon Martin was a 17-year-old African American who was unarmed and wearing a hoodie.

George Zimmerman, a 28-year-old multi-racial Hispanic American, was the designated neighbourhood watch coordinator for The Retreat at Twin Lakes, the gated community where the shooting took place. Since the shooting and the trial, there have been protests, marches and campaigns.

Watch the campaign video to find out more about what happened. BUT be sure to look up other sources of information too to get a balanced view of the the story... there are many parts to it!
