Roosevelt High School held its fifth annual Hoodies Up event last week. The gathering happens annually on Feb. 5, the birthday of Trayvon Martin, the teenager who was shot and killed in 2012, a rallying point for the start of the Black Lives Matter movement. Roosevelt students filled the auditorium for speeches and performances, and students and parents created black banners that adorned the hallways throughout campus. The event was organized by students from the Black Student Union, Senior Inquiry and Ethnic Studies.
