About 20 local and area citizens, many with church affiliations, march Saturday beside the U.S. courthouse downtown on Spring Street in Gainesville.

Members of Gainesville-Hall County “Justice for Trayvon” coalition held an emotional prayer vigil and rally Saturday afternoon outside the Federal Courthouse in Gainesville. “We can’t discuss some things if we don’t get out and march for them, or we don’t get out and protest it. If the whole country is protesting, we need to be out protesting, too,” the Rev. Victor Lamar Johnson said.
