Eugene Butler stood at the foot of the steps of the Florida State Capitol Building, loudspeaker clutched in his hand.
“That can’t be right,” Butler said, staring at the crowd of onlookers lining the concrete steps of the Capitol. “That can’t be the America that we grew up in. I can’t believe what I’m seeing, because I know that this is the start of something special.”
Tallahassee college students and community members rallied at the Capitol early Sunday morning after a jury found neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman not guilty in the shooting of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin.
The protest came just a few short hours after Zimmerman, 29, was cleared of all charges in the 2012 death of 17-year-old Martin. The case has sparked nationwide debate over self-defense and racial equality in the United States. Sunday’s protest was organized largely by the Florida State University Dream Defenders, a self-described civil rights organization founded last year in the wake of Martin’s death.
“Young people today are told that they’re growing up in a post-racist country, and judging by Zimmerman’s trial, that doesn’t seem to be the case,” said Brian Marshall, the president of the FSU Dream Defenders. “We’re here tonight to demand justice and to stand up to a system that I, personally, have lost faith in.”
Protesters began congregating at the Tallahassee-Leon County Civic Center late Saturday night. The rally-goers then marched to the front steps of the Capitol. Some protesters held signs; others wore hoodie sweatshirts as a symbol of Martin, who was reportedly wearing a hoodie the night he was shot.
Emotions ran high as protesters spoke out about Zimmerman’s trial, Martin’s death and racial injustice. Dream Defender member Kristen Bonner said Zimmerman’s verdict left her in a state of disbelief.
“Had Zimmerman listened to police that night, Trayvon would have still been alive and none of this would have happened,” Bonner said. “It’s unbelievable that we live in a country where a murderer can get off the hook like this. I can’t even think straight right now.”
Student leaders are expected to meet on the Florida A&M University campus Sunday to discuss an organized student reaction to Saturday’s verdict.

Most people wouldn’t feel too compelled to sit through an entire 20-minute speech on the Internet. TED Talks have found a way to change that, however, by offering captivating speeches on some of the most intriguing topics.
TED Talks are presentations and speeches from some of the most brilliant and fascinating minds of our time. TED, the nonprofit behind TED Talks and global conferences, stands for the fields of Technology, Entertainment, and Design, but since it’s inception in 1984, it has expanded to nearly every topic imaginable. Today, thousands of TED Talks are available online for free, and have even recently been added to Netflix online streaming. However, with so many speakers and subjects out there, it can be hard to find the ones that are most lucrative. The FSView & Florida Flambeau has compiled a list of ten TED Talks everyone should watch that push the boundaries and discuss relevant issues concerning gender inequality, social media, public education and more.
--- 1. Juan Enriquez: Will our kids be a different species?
Anyone who didn’t freak out at the news of 3D printing technology probably has something wrong with them. Juan Enriquez’s talk makes watchers consider whether humans as a species are changing along with technology, and the changes he describes are mindblowing. Tune in to find out what many Olympic athletes have in common, how you might be able to download your memories, and a few reasons why your kids or grandkids might have a completely different genetic brain makeup from you.
--- 2. Dan Buettner: How to live to be 100+
National Geographic writer Dan Buettner studied communities around the globe whose life expectancy was much longer than the average country’s. In Buettner’s informative TED Talk, he reveals nine essential factors that groups like Sardinians, Okinawans and Seventh Day Adventists in a California community use to shape their lifestyles and increase their life expectancy. The good news? Genetics only account for about 10% of how long you will live, so incorporating some of these tips will most likely make a difference in your life expectancy.
--- 3. Steve Jobs: How to live before you die
This is the footage of the commencement ceremony speech that Steve Jobs made at Stanford back in 2005, but the message he delivers is an important part of the legacy the iconic prodigy left behind after he passed away in 2011. The man behind Apple and Pixar also dropped out of college, was ousted from his own company that he founded and knew how to use death as a motivating tool. His stories are as encouraging as they are thought provoking.
--- 4. Matt Cutts: Try something new for 30 days
2013 is almost halfway over—are you still keeping up with your New Year’s Resolutions? If you’re like most people, you probably forgot about them long ago. But Matt Cutts’s talk may get you motivated once again. He enlightens how to set the right goals in order to try something new or break a bad habit: Want to stop biting your nails or finally learn piano? Just give it thirty days and the right amount of effort.
--- 5. Sheryl WuDunn: Our century's greatest injustice
This is a must-watch presentation about the current situation of women around the world. Sheryl WuDunn, co-author of Half the Sky, takes her audience around the world with stories about real women, what they have suffered and what they have been able to achieve. Her talk is a wake-up call about gender inequality that is still rampant today. More convincing, however, is the way that she puts faces to statistics and suggests ways in which educating and creating better economies can make the changes that need to happen (and how you can and should help out).
--- 6. Kevin Allocca: Why videos go viral
This talk, like the YouTube videos it explains, is both shorter and more entertaining than most TED Talk videos. It’ll make you think twice about the success of the latest viral hit, and might even give you enough tips to produce your own internet sensation if you have luck, talent (or complete lack of it) and unexpectedness on your side.
--- 7. Ken Robinson: Schools kill creativity
No matter what field you’re majoring in, Ken Robinson offers some profound information about creativity. His talk encourages us all to rethink education and the way that we learn—maybe switching up your routines or picking up a creative activity or minor are just a few of the tasks he highlights to keep your brain working at an optimal level.
--- 8. Sheena Iyengar: How to make choosing easier
This talk encourages you to “be choosy about choosing.” Humans are bombarded with literally thousands of decisions each day, so making the right one can often be difficult. Sheena Lyengar has four tips for getting the most out of each choice you make, and they are surprisingly simple revelations.
--- 9. JK Rowling: The fringe benefits of failure
It’s pretty remarkable to hear advice from JK Rowling, the woman whose Harry Potter series raised her out of poverty and into a global spotlight—especially when she’s praising the lessons that come from failure. She discusses the power of imagination, though not quite in a fashion that one would expect, and gives enough clever anecdotes to remind watchers why the world fell under her spell in the first place.
--- 10. Meg Jay: Why 30 is not the new 20
It’s easy to think that you have all the time in the world to figure out what you want to do after college—who you want to be, the people you want to surround yourself with, the career you hope to attain and so on. But as Meg Jay, a clinical psychologist, has to say, the twenties are not a throwaway decade. Jay has plenty of advice about taking charge of your life and becoming the adult you want to be right now. This talk could not be more relevant for our demographic and circumstances—it’s time for all of us to become who we want to be.
