NYC Council members Melissa Mark-Viverto, left and Ydanis Rodriguez, right, join other members of the New York City Council with their staff members and supporters wearing "hoodie" sweatshirts at a news conference on the steps of NY City Hall on Wednesday, March 28, 2012 prior to passing a resolution condemning the killing of 17 year-old Trayvon Martin in Florida. The unarmed Martin was shot and killed by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman in February. The shooting has raised the consciousness of the public about racial profiling and the suspiciousness of young black men based on their clothing. (© Richard B. Levine)
