The Trayvon Election

The lawsuit dragged on, and was still unresolved as of last month, when Central Florida was consumed by the story of Trayvon Martin. On March 26, supporters of the Martin family held a community hearing in Eatonville, one of the first all-black towns founded after the Civil War. Jesse Jackson was there, as was Al Sharpton, as was Jerry Demings, the sheriff of Orlando?s Orange County. It was that sheriff?s department that the Strickly Skillz barbers had sued, with the help of lawyer Benjamin Crump. Crump?s law firm, still working on the barbershop case, was now cycling its attorneys from TV studio to cable-news truck to talk about the Martin case.
