Black Law Firms Unite After Social Media Seeks Justice for Ahmaud Arbery

Social media has been in an uproar since a video of Ahmaud Arbery’s death surfaced online and has since called for immediate justice from the state of Georgia. Arbery, a 25-year-old Black man, was shot on Feb. 23 while jogging through a neighborhood by Gregory McMichael and his son Travis, who chased him down before killing him. McMichael and his son were only arrested and charged for the murder just last week, USA Today reports . The video caused such a stir online that Roc Nation’s philanthropic arm Team Roc and civil rights lawyers S. Lee Merritt, Esq. and Benjamin L. Crump, Esq. signed an open letter calling for justice from Georgia state officials. Open letter to Georgia elected officials appearing in the Atlantic Journal-Constitution today, calling for justice to be served in the case of Ahmaud Arbery's murder. Convict his killers and show the world that hate and fear will lose. #JusticeforAhmaud #iRunWithMaud pic.twitter.com/w0nuXthGEc — Roc Nation (@RocNation) May 10, 2020...
