The jury selection in the trial for the three men charged in the death of Ahmaud Arbery begins on Monday, but a justice rally for Arbery took place Saturday at the Glynn County courthouse in Brunswick, GA.
On Feb. 23, 2020, Arbery, 25, was killed while jogging by Travis McMichael and his father Gregory, who were armed and driving a pickup truck near Brunswick in Glynn County. The third person who filmed the incident, William “Roddie” Bryan, followed Arbery in a second vehicle. Arbery was stopped, confronted and fatally shot by Travis.
Arbery’s family and activists call for people to unite against the justice system and unite against those who choose to use race as an excuse to kill Black and Brown men, women and children.
BNC correspondent Jeyne Donaldson reported live from the Glynn County courthouse and spoke with Arbery’s aunt, Thea Brooks.
“Today is about us,” Brooks said. “Coming together and fighting for the same thing, and that’s justice for Ahmaud and unity in our community.”
