Justice for Trayvon Martin Rally at the Downtown Federal Building - Photos and Video

Over 1000 people of all ages and ethnicities gathered at the Richard B. Russell Building in downtown Atlanta on July 20th to show their disappointment in the recent George Zimmerman acquittal and their support for the parents of Trayvon Martin.

Justice for Trayvon rallies, as some have been calling them, were scheduled for this day all across the country as people try to move politicians to re-think laws such as 'Stand Your Ground' and other new gun laws that seem to be adding to the violence and not deterring it.

Many in the crowd also hope that the US Department of Justice will find enough evidence to bring a civil rights violation case against Zimmerman in the near future. 

Despite the predictable afternoon showers that passed through the downtown area, the hundreds of attendees stood their ground and continued to sing and chant for change.

What do you think...Will Justice Ever Be Served in the Case?
