Martin, 17, was fatally shot by a neighborhood watch volunteer, George Zimmerman, in February 2012 in Sanford, Florida.outside the Cudell Recreation Center in Cleveland, after officer Timothy Loehmann and his partner received a 911 call about someone pointing a gun at people. According to Haghar, she showed a copy of her speech to Asmerom before the graduation and he told her to remove Martin's and Rice's names because it was too political. The graduating senior told KXAS that even though she was told not to mention their names, she never expected for her microphone to be muted during her speech.
"I never expected them to not allow me to finish, because at the end of the day, schools want to raise socially conscious students, students who are able to think for themselves. That's what I was doing," she said.
