Krop Students Honor Trayvon Martin in Their Own Way

As students at numerous schools across South Florida walked out Friday to protest the lack of an arrest in the Trayvon Martin shooting, students at Miami’s Krop Senior High School honored their fallen classmate in a slightly different fashion. When the bell rang at 2:20 p.m., hundreds of Krop kids held an orderly walkout, leaving classrooms with posters and megaphones. They chanted for justice as they carried signs and a big banner that everybody wrote their names and sentiments on. Kia Archer, a friend who knew Martin since the seventh grade, said he was funny, quiet, “and he would walk me home sometimes randomly. He was the brother I never had.”
