MIAMI – Actor Jamie Foxx and the families of Emmett Till and Oscar Grant are joined South Florida residents this weekend to commemorate the second anniversary of Trayvon Martin's fatal shooting by neighborhood watch leader George Zimmerman.
A peace walk was held and a rally in Miami Gardens. It was hosted by the Trayvon Martin Foundation. Saturday would have Martin's 19th birthday.
A spokeswoman for Martin's family said the focus of the weekend was intended to explore strategies to reduce violence.
Till, a black teen, was murdered in Mississippi in 1955, and Grant, also a black teen, was fatally shot by a police officer in Oakland in 2009.
Zimmerman was acquitted last summer of fatally shooting the unarmed Martin, who is black, in February 2012.
