Ahmaud Arbery's murder is just the latest painful reminder of Georgia's dark history of lynchings

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Wanda Cooper-Jones had “The Talk” with her son Ahmaud when he learned to drive. The conversation where Black parents warn their children how to stay safe when encountering law enforcement.

“I didn’t think him jogging, that that would put him in danger,” Cooper-Jones said.

Ahmaud Arbery, 25, was shot to death Feb. 23 in Brunswick, Georgia. It wasn’t until May, after a third prosecutor and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation became involved in the case, that Travis McMichael, his father, Gregory McMichael, and William Bryan Jr. would be charged with his murder.

Arbery’s death has been labeled a lynching, which is defined as a killing by three or more people claiming extrajudicial reasons to kill.
