PHILADELPHIA—Stevie Wonder isn't the only one who wants to boycott Florida over its "stand your ground" law, which served as a backdrop in the recent not guilty verdict for George Zimmerman in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.

Civil rights activist Rev. Jesse Jackson said Friday he also wanted a boycott of the state.

"We can boycott Florida, cut conventions in Florida, for its 'stand your ground' laws," said Jackson, speaking on a panel at the National Urban League's annual conference in Philadelphia. "If we can boycott South Africa and bring it down, we should boycott Florida and bring it down."

Jackson made the comments less than a week after Florida's governor, Rick Scott, said he wouldn't change the controversial law that allows people to use physical force in self-defense without a duty to retreat.
