We the members of Latinos for Trayvon Martin, a coalition of Hostos professors, administrators, and students are gathered in this plaza today because the history of this Latino institution demands we speak out.  Hostos Community College is a college born out of the struggle of Latinos for educational equality and against American racism. Yet over 40 years after its founding we are called upon by recent history to denounce, without equivocation, a despicable travesty of justice that has led to the murder of one of our children, uno de nuestros ninos, Trayvon Martin.
