ALBANY, GA --
A student group at Albany State University says the student body has not done much in response to Trayvon Martin’s death so they decided to take initiative.

PhreshLyfe Modeling Troup mirrored an effort done by Howard University Medical Center, which is a Historically Black College and University (HBCU) like Albany State. The group took a picture and video wearing hoodies in hopes that their message for justice in the case circulates.

According to reports, shooter George Zimmerman was suspicious of Martin because of his attire, including a hoodie.
