Rhetoric Race and Religion
On November 23, 2012 Michael Dunn fatally shot Jordan Davis at a gas station in Jacksonville, Florida. Police say that Dunn shot and killed Davis over a dispute of loud music. The shooting sparked national attention because it was almost nine months to the day that George Zimmerman fatally shot Trayvon Martin. Now Dunn stands trial for the murder of Davis. We here at Rhetoric Race and Religion thought we would collect some of the editorials and essays associated with the trial. We ask that if you come across some articles please share them with us on our Facebook page or you can tweet us@examinereligion. Enjoy.
