Students from Atlanta’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities rallied in honor of Trayvon Martin at the Georgia State Capitol Monday. More than 3,000 people were in attendance to protest the death of an unarmed 17-year-old boy who was walking back to his father’s fiancé’s home from picking up snacks.

In a rally organized by the Louisiana State University chapter of Alpha Phi Omega, demonstrators wore hooded sweatshirts and carried red bags of Skittles candy this past weekend, the Advocate reports.
