Jay & Bey showed support for Trayvon Martin today, appearing at a rally in Harlem in which Rev. Al Sharpton also made an appearance. The power couple, joined by Trayvon’s mother and other community leaders also protested the highly controversial “Stand Your Ground” law which ironically enough did not apply to a Florida mother who fired warning shots at her alleged abusive husband and was found guilty and sentenced to 20 years. Trayvon’s mother, Sybrina Fulton stated “George Zimmerman started the fight and George Zimmerman ended the fight. My son died without even knowing who his killer was … Today it was my son. Tomorrow it might be yours.” Jay also helped honor Trayvon in Toronto when he and Justin Timberlake performed “Young Forver” in memory of the slain teen. #RIPTrayvonMartin #JusticeForTrayvon
