Supporters gather for the rally and vigil. Photos by Layla Garms Shay and Jaylyn Robinson take in the scene. Trayvon from page A1 "Young people, this is your Emmett Till struggle - that's what this is all about," said the longtime activist and former mem ber of the local Black Panther Party. "Trayvon wasn't in the 'hood. He was in a gated community, yet he wasn't safe because he was black. He was pro filed." City Council Member Derwin Montgomery, who represents the city's East Ward, where the rally was held, encouraged attendees to keep making their voic es heard. "This is about making sure that we as a communi ty - white, black, green or yellow - come together and say that we will not stand for any injustice or lives being taken for grant ed," he said. "...This is our opportunity as a communi ty to say that we stand for justice, we speak up for justice and we'll make sure that this voice doesn't stop here." Darryl Hunt, who spent 19 years in prison for a crime he did not commit, reminded the audience that what many see as a miscar riage of justice in the Zimmerman trial is far from being an isolated case. An inequitable legal system is to blame for the ruination of countless black lives. Hunt said, not ing that Michael Vick Andrea Barnes shows her support. received a harsher punish ment for killing canines than Zimmerman received for killing Martin. "Understand this: we're in a time where we need to stick together and not ask for justice but demand it," he declared. "We need to demand it in Raleigh, we need to demand it in Winston-Salem. If we don't stand up and demand what's right, they're going to continue to kill us." Rev. Carlton Eversley, pastor of Dellabrook Presbyterian Church, took time before uttering the closing prayer to drive home the importance of protesting and fighting for justice and equality. "There was not going to be a trial, there was not going to be any kind of review, until the people stood up," he said of the Zimmerman case. "So give yourselves a hand for con tinuing the struggle." Ten year-old Jaylyn Robinson's was one of many young faces in the crowd Tuesday. "I wanted to come out because I'm supporting Trayvon Martin for his murder. I don't think it's fair for the black people getting murdered," the ris ing sixth grader said. "It's not fair for our justice sys tem (to let that happen)." Jaylyn's mother. Shay Robinson, said she wanted her son to understand the gravity of the moment and to encourage him to stand up against injustice. "Jaylyn needs to know where we are right now in his life. Once he's in mid dle school and high school, he can look back and use this experience as a point of reference in his history books. He'll remember his mother teaching him about the law, and teaching him who he is as a black man in America," said Robinson, a customer service trainer for Aetna. "...He's my Trayvon. I want him to be here at 18, 19, 20 years old." Nicole Little, a gradu ate of Carver High School and longtime city resident, urged all those present to take action in advocating for changes to the justice system that could prevent another case like Martin's. "I'm challenging everybody here today to leave here saying 'I need to do something,'" she said. "...If we take the social media presence and trans late it to something physi cal, something that you can touch, we can make a dif ference in Winston-Salem and all across the United States." Union Baptist Church, 1200 Trade Street, will be hosting a Justice for Trayvon Rally on Saturday. July 20 at II am., fol lowed by a peaceful protest march.

If it is not nherent, then there are few greater areas of leverage for innovation ri education than by developing systems thinkng skis with kids starting from a young age'" -AAarv Adams How do systems thinking tools and habits help our students develop into our future leaders? They learn to: ? Look at the big picture ? Observe patterns over time and identify short and long-term consequences of actions ? Change perspectives to in crease understand^ ? Find where unintended conse quences may emerge ? Deal with complex problems where cause and effect are separated by time and space ? Recognize the impact of time delays when exploring cause and effect relationships ? Surface and test assumptions ? Recognize that a system's structure generates its behavior ? Use their understandng of sys tem structure to identify possible leverage actions ? Be open to dfeconfirrmng data ?
