The former neighborhood watchman who gained national notoriety after killing Trayvon Martin, an unarmed teenager, was busted Monday on suspicion of domestic violence 15 miles north of Orlando. This is far from the first time he has been back in the news since his acquittal in July.

George Zimmerman was charged with assault and battery for allegedly pointing a long-barreled shotgun at his new girlfriend M

For a response to President Obama's comments on the acquittal of George Zimmerman and racism in the United States, we're joined by Dr. Cornel West, professor at Union Theological Seminary and author of numerous books.

On Obama's remarks comparing himself to Trayvon Martin, West says: "Will that identification hide and conceal the fact there's a criminal justice system in place that has nearly destroyed two generations of precious, poor black and brown brothers? [Obama] hasn't said

Justice failed Trayvon Martin the night he was killed. We should be appalled and outraged, but perhaps not surprised, that it failed him again Saturday night with a verdict setting his killer free. Our society considers young black men to be dangerous, interchangeable, expendable, guilty until proven innocent. This is the conversation about race that we desperately need to have -- but probably, as in the past, will try our best to avoid.

George Zimmerman's acquittal was set in motion on Fe

Was the Zimmerman Trial All About Race?

Posted by Prince Malachi The First on July 14, 2013 at 11:51pm

Because it happened in America, the trial of George Zimmerman for shooting and killing Trayvon Martin was all about race. And because it happened in America, the people who benefit politically from the same invidious forces that led both to Trayvon Martin's killing, and the acquittal of his killer, will deny that race had anything to do with either the killing or the verdict.

Suppose Trayvon Martin had been a 230-pound 30-year-old black man, with a loaded gun in his jacket. Suppose Zimmerman

President Obama Issues Statement on George Zimmerman Verdict

Statement by the President

The death of Trayvon Martin was a tragedy. Not just for his family, or for any one community, but for America. I know this case has elicited strong passions. And in the wake of the verdict, I know those passions may be running even higher. But we are a nation of laws, and a jury has spoken. I now ask every American to respect the call for calm reflection from two parents who lost their young son. And as we do, we should ask ourselves if we're doing all we can

Florida Pastors Call for Calm as Verdict Looms In George Zimmerman Trial

It is a case that has inspired protest and prayer while raising questions about race and justice.

Pastor Glenn Dames of St. James AME Church in Titusville said he believes that whatever the final verdict for Zimmerman, his church members will be focused on prayer rather than protests.

Now after more than a year, area pastors are bracing their congregations for a verdict in the trial of George Zimmerman, a self-professed neighborhood watch volunteer charged with fatally shooting 17-year-old Tr

Police and City Leaders In Florida Prepare for Post-Zimmerman Trial Unrest If He Is Acquitted

Police and city leaders in Florida say are preparing for the possibility of mass protests or even civil unrest if a neighborhood watch volunteer is acquitted in the killing of an unarmed black teen -- a case that has already provoked protests after police initially refused to arrest the defendant.

Trayvon Martin, 17, was visiting his father and father's fiancee when George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer, fatally shot him during a physical confrontation in a gated community in Febru

Opening Statements Presented at Start of Trayvon Martin Trial

George Zimmerman's defense attorneys can use statements the neighborhood watch volunteer made to a police officer and neighbor immediately after he fatally shot 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.

Judge Debra Nelson made the ruling Monday that the remarks could be used shortly before opening statements in Zimmerman's second-degree murder trial.

Zimmerman told the officer and neighbor that he was yelling for help but nobody responded during his confrontation with Martin.

How To Have Faith in Justice

Faith has always been the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things unseen. But what happens to that hope when the laws around us seem to be a little tainted and many times it seems like justice has no equal playing field. What happens to the little child that runs to his mother and tells his mother that he was being bullied by another? That parent will immediately want justice for her son, and for that particular school to act swiftly and accordingly to the rule book. But what
