Do your walkout kids – stand up in solidarity! It could have been any of us, it was me at 18 years old.
Krop Senior High Students Honor Fallen Classmate Trayvon Martin With "Chain of Life"
Flagler students stage walkout to pay respects to Trayvon Martin
"A few hundred students" at Flagler Palm Coast High School gathered in the school's courtyard this morning to pay respects and pray for Trayvon Martin.
The student-led gathering started about 10 a.m. and lasted about 30 to 40 minutes, said Janet Valentine, superintendent of Flagler County schools. She said school staff told her the students were "extremely respectful and cooperative."
What began as a shooting at a complex in a Florida town north of Orlando that many people had probably never heard of has now become a cause for thousands of people. Even President Obama has weighed in.
A prayer vigil in Sanford Friday night was the latest show of support for slain Florida teen Trayvon Martin.
And the flame sparked by his death, at the hands of a neighborhood watchman, is engulfing the country.
As many as 8,000 people gathered in Philadelphia Friday night to march in memory of the unarmed 17-year old who was shot to death last month.
