Want to read a great Ahmaud Arbery story?

On AP...

https://apnews.com/article/life-of-ahmaud-arbery-e869ad7dc4ae6b86635507d412e63319

In his final days, Ahmaud Arbery’s life was at a crossroads

In his final months on Earth, Arbery appeared to be someone who felt on the verge of personal and professional breakthroughs, especially because his probation could have ended that year, many of those close to him told The Associated Press.

Off the field, Ahmaud had a talent for raising the spirits of the people around him — and a penchant for imitating his coach, Vaughn said.

His death will not be in vain, his sister told a crowd of supporters during a May 2020 rally calling for justice that was held at the historic Glynn County courthouse in Brunswick. Many attendees had driven hours from Atlanta to be there.

“I will get answers — that was my promise,” she said. “That’s the last thing that I told him, on the day of his funeral, that Mama will get to the bottom of it.”

..and watched as the three racist men who killed her baby (bc they are always our babies no matter age) in cold blood were found guilty. Just heard that minimum sentences for each person who killed her son is 30yrs..justicia was had today bc justice matters; and, bc Ahmaud Arbery’s life mattered. Peace to his family.

Thanks for post.

Paz.
