A coalition of  religious leaders  and  civil rights activists have called for Sunday June 23  to be a national day of prayer and justice for the family and supporters of Trayvon Martin.
 “On the eve of the start of the George Zimmerman murder trial. Its important that our nation not be torn apart in what’s expected to be one of the most closely watched trials in our nations history. We don’t want racial tensions to possibly erupt or polarize parts of our nation as we have seen before in trials such as O. J. Simpson and the L.A.P.D. officers who beat motorist Rodney King nearly to death.  The L.A.P.D. officers  subsequent verdicts of being found not guilty by an all White jury touched off the greatest civil unrest in our nations history. We as a nation need to start off and stay united during the course of this trial .And no  matter what the verdict is in the Zimmerman trial. We have to trust in God,” stated Najee Ali, founder of Project Islamic HOPE.  ”
“The National Action Network and Weller Baptist Church will continue to pray and support the family of Trayvon Martin and their fight for justice. Our interfaith prayer vigil is about bringing our community and nation together in what’s expected to be one of the most highly publicized trials in the nation,” Stated  Rev K. W. Tulloss branch President of The National Action Network.

U.S. Murder Offenders by Race: 2023 FBI Data

  Data on murders (homicides) committed by race in the United States primarily comes from the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, which relies on reports from law enforcement agencies. The most recent detailed breakdown available is for 2023, but due to the FBI's transition to a new reporting system (NIBRS), not all agencies submitted complete data—only about 70-80% of the population was covered, so totals are undercounts. These figures represent known offenders (where race was identified), not arrests or convictions, and include single-offender and multi-offender incidents. In 2023, there were approximately 15,708 known murder offenders with identified race. Here's the breakdown: Race Number of Offenders Percentage of Known Offenders Rate per 100,000 Population White 8,842 56.3% 3.51 Black or African American 6,405 40.8% 14.00 Other (American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander) 461 2.9% 1.31 Notes on the...
