Beyonce and Jay Z Attend ‘Justice for Trayvon’ Rally in NYC

POSTED BY WLAS July 20th, 2013 0 COMMENTS

jayz-beyonce-sybrina-fulton-al-sharpton Hundreds of “Justice for Trayvon” rallies were held across the country on Saturday, July 20, 2013 in a move to encourage the Department of Justice to file charges against George Zimmerman for violating the civil rights of the late Trayvon Martin.

Beyoncé and Jay Z attended the NYC rally that was hosted by Reverend Al Sharpton and where Sybrina Fulton, the mother of the slain teen, was a special guest.

Sharpton remarked on their appearance, telling the crowd, “Jay Z and Beyoncé said they didn’t want to speak and they didn’t come for a photo op…”

Adding, that Jay Z told him, “I’m a father. Beyoncé is a mother.’ We all feel the pain and apprehension — the laws must protect everybody, or it doesn’t protect anybody. We do not come from hate, we come from love of children.”
