VIDEO: Voices from Baltimore march for Trayvon Martin

Above: On Pratt Street, three participants in Monday’s march for Trayvon Martin.

Here are some videos shot during yesterday’s march in Baltimore to protest the handling of the Trayvon Martin case.

On Feb. 26th, Martin, an unarmed 17-year-old, was shot and killed while walking home in a gated community in Sanford, Fla. The neighborhood watch volunteer who shot him, George Zimmerman, has not been arrested and the case has prompted an outcry over alleged racism and racial profiling. (Martin was black. Zimmerman has a white father and an Hispanic mother.)

This week, the media has reported further details of Zimmerman’s account of the shooting given to the police, in which he says he had been walking back to his SUV when Martin attacked him from behind.
