The Smithsonian has expressed interest in acquiring the hooded sweatshirt that Trayvon Martin was wearing when he was shot. Lonnie Bunch, the director of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture says that Martin’s hoodie is symbolic and could help further the discussion about race in America. The Justice Department has placed a hold on evidence in the case, including the hoodie and George Zimmerman’s gun, as it conducts a civil rights investigation.
