Trayvon Martin, who was murdered by a "neighborhood watch" in 2012, will be receiving a degree from Florida Memorial University. His passing has fueled discussions over race relations and social injustice, and have influenced young people of color to stand-up more than ever.
According to HBCUDigest.com, Martin always wanted to become a pilot and he will receive a aeronautical science degree at Florida Memorial's May 13th commencement. His parents will accept the award on his behalf.
