On Feb. 26, 2012, an unarmed teenager carrying iced tea and candy was shot and killed on a Florida street.
His name was Trayvon Martin, and five years on, the movement inspired by his death lives on. Left for dead by a Neighborhood Watch volunteer, the fate of Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin's son fanned the flames that became the Black Live Matter movement.

On the fifth anniversary of his death, celebrities and public figures shared photos of themselves wearing a sweatshirt emblazoned with his name on social media. Using the hashtag #OurSonTrayvon, Kerry Washington wrote "5 years later our hoodies are still up because the movement is still strong!"

The hoodies were made by activist clothing brand Liberated People, which says it's donating 15 percent of all sales to the Trayvon Martin Foundation. Set up by Martin's parents, the organization seeks to end gun violence.
Director Ava DuVernay, who was nominated for an Oscar for her documentary about race and mass incarceration, 13th, also took a moment to remember Martin on Twitter before the ceremony. The hoodie was not the only political statement she made Sunday -- DuVernay also chose to wear a gown by Ashi Studio, a studio based in Beirut, Lebanon, as a statement of support for the Muslim community.
"Our hoodies are still up and the movement is still strong," she wrote.
