One year ago today, Ahmaud Arbery, an unarmed 25-year-old Black man was murdered by three white men in Georgia.

It took over two months for authorities to arrest and charge the men with murder.

Prayers go out to his family on this difficult day. 🙏

Love is at the very heart of Black life and resistance. Black Love embodies many things, love of self, love of others, patience, teaching, learning, listening, guiding, and more. #BlackLoveDay https://t.co/CE75eYlbvp

It's been 1 year since Ahmaud Arbery was tragically murdered simply for being Black.

#BlackHistoryMonth is a reminder that the racism in our country is systemic, generational, & the cost too often is Black lives.

We must end the scourge of white supremacy in this country.
