Trayvon Martin's Hoodie Has The Interest Of The Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture

A museum director at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., said she would be interested in acquiring a symbolic and recent piece of American history.

Trayvon Martin's hoodie - the sweatshirt he was wearing the night he was fatally shot by George Zimmerman in Sanford, Fla. - "became the symbolic way to talk [about] the Trayvon Martin case," Lonnie Bunch, the director of the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture, told The Washington Post.

As legal proceedings have come to an end, the hoodie is likely back in the hands of the Sanford Police Department and Trayvon Martin's family will be given a chance to claim it.

Give me a freaking BREAK! AHHHHH! THe museum is all slanted towards Black this, Black that hell the country could have never been formed if it was not for blacks. I dont even know what whites had to do with any history.

You sure cant mention them, unless its Lincoln.

So they want a hoodie, which I remember in 1963 was why we called criminals "hoods", to symbolize Trayvon? Probably the best way to describe the little criminal! LOL!

How sweet...

I wouldn't even let my dog sleep on it. Just put in in a bucket of 100% bleach and it will be gone in a few days.

Now this place is on the I love Blacks band wagon. Anything to demoralize the white man and make him look bad.

Is this the Best Piece in the Museum? Hoodie of the teenager who never accomplished anything besides slamming someone's head into the pavement. SMH. Do they bring O.J. Simpson memorabilia also?

Good choice.. It will symbolize the destruction of liberty and the American way of freedom at the hands of the race mongers.

If "Honest Abe" had know what the war for state's right would lead to, he would have spared JW Booth the trouble!

What about the 9,500 sweatshirts of the blacks who died since this case began. Let me guess they are not interested.
