NEW YORK – The parents of Trayvon Martin, who was shot to death by a neighborhood watch leader in Sanford, attended a march in his memory Wednesday night in New York City.
Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin were at an event called the Million Hoodie March at Union Square. Their 17-year-old son was shot last month while returning to a gated community after buying candy at a convenience store.
