Trayvon Martin marchers chant 'We want an arrest.'

SANFORD, Fla. -- The feet of marchers pounded the cracked pavement of Sanford, Fla.'s 13th street -- a road that runs through the heart of one of the oldest black communities in Florida -- to reiterate that apathy won't be an option for those moved and outraged by the shooting death of an unarmed black teenager.

The Goldsboro community played host to a march and rally Saturday organized by the NAACP that brought together a coalition of national civil-rights organizers, community leaders, clergymen and droves of local residents who joined the chants demanding the arrest of George Zimmerman for Trayvon Martin's death.
