Chanting “Justice for all” and wearing hooded sweatshirts, a group of law students and faculty rallied against racial profiling Wednesday outside the law school.

Organized by the Windsor chapter of the Black Law Students’ Association, “Hoodie Day” represented a stand in solidarity with the family of Trayvon Martin, said spokesperson Nana Yanful.

In a case that has generated international outrage, Martin, a black youth, was shot and killed more than a month ago in Sanford, Florida. What is telling is that his killer has gone uncharged by police, said Yanful, a second-year law student.

“Racial profiling and racism still exist in our society,” she said. “The automatic assumption that black males represent danger … is shameful.”

Martin was wearing a hooded sweatshirt when he was shot, making it an excellent symbol, Yanful said.

“Any one of us could be suspect, could be targeted on the basis of what we’re wearing,” she said. “The hoodie is a symbol, but it’s just a beginning to get at the underlying issues.”
