Downtown Syracuse
A diverse group of activists and citizens held a rally at the James Hanley Federal Building today to protest the recent verdict in the trial of George Zimmerman in Florida.
The event was organized by the National Action Network, which pledged to hold vigils in 100 cities today.
The rally was held one week following the trial verdict in Sanford, FL and almost four months to the day after the 1,000,000 Hoodie march in Syracuse.
