Today, Congresswoman Laura Richardson added her voice to those of her colleagues in Congress calling for justice for the family of murdered teenager Trayvon Martin.
"The death of Trayvon Martin has launched the nation into a state of shock with many leaders, including Members of Congress calling for swift justice and that the killer of the teen face charges," said Congresswoman Richardson.
"The action taken by Attorney General Holder and the U.S. Department of Justice, will make sure that this wrong is corrected and send a message to the Stanford community that the lives of all children are precious.
My heart and prayers go out to the family of Trayvon Martin, a young man who left this world too soon.
