Sybrina Fulton is the mother of the late 17-year-old Trayvon Martin who was gunned down by community watchman George Zimmerman two years ago. Yesterday, she went to the University of Utah to speak on the issue of racial profiling.

Hundreds of people showed up to the Martin Luther King Week event, in which Fulton said that an "upside" to her son's death was the "opportunity to save someone else's child," reported UPI.

"Don't think for one second racial profiling doesn't happen. Don't think for one minute even in your community of Salt Lake City it doesn't happen," said Fulton to the audience. "Racism is still alive. Racial profiling is still alive. Injustice is still alive."

Fulton stated the conditions of her son's murder should resonate with any family across America.

"There should not become a time when we are comfortable with burying our children," said Fulton. "What happened many miles away in Sanford should be uncomfortable for you."

Fulton further expressed her views to the University of Utah crowd yesterday.

"Is it the hoodie that really made the difference? Or the color of his skin?" asked Fulton to the spectators. "And if by one second, just by one mere second, we think that it's the color of his skin, then something is wrong with America."

"At the end of the day, it's not about Trayvon. It's about the person that felt he was suspicious," concluded Fulton.

Zimmerman, who was found not guilty in 2013. Claims he shot and killed Martin in self-defense.

Zimmerman in recent times faced domestic violence charges when his recent girlfriend alleged he had endangered her with a gun and choked her. The Florida state attorney's headquarters decided to remove those charges on her request.
