The hoodie has become symbolic of the Trayvon Martin case, where the 17-year-old was slain in Florida this past February. Protestors across the nation wore hoodies in memory of Martin, especially when the "not guilty" verdict was delivered in the case against George Zimmerman, who allegedly killed the teen in self-defense based on evidence presented.

According to ABC News, a Smithsonian exhibit may put Martin's hoodie on display in Washington, D.C. The director of a new branch of the Smithsonian, the National Museum of African American History and Culture, tells the Washington Post he would like the museum to acquire it for their collection.

"It became the symbolic way to talk about the Trayvon Martin case," Lonnie Bunch told the Post. "It's rare that you get one artifact that really becomes the symbol. Because it's such a symbol, it would allow you to talk about race in the age of Obama."

The National Museum of African American History and Culture is slated open in 2015.

A Florida jury acquitted George Zimmerman on Saturday night in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.

The verdict, from a jury of six women who deliberated over two days, was announced at 10 p.m. ET. Jurors also had the option of convicting him of second-degree murder or of the lesser crime of manslaughter. In the courtroom, Zimmerman’s family held hands across a row and cried.

This is fucking unbelievable, the American Justice System is a joke. I think George Zimmerman and his racist supporters should burn in hell!
