As Rick Jackson and Donald Trump lie to the American people today, remember this: Both of them are pushing lies about Georgia’s 2020 election results
Georgia, the power is in our hands. Let’s show them at the polls this November!
The World Cup is here in Georgia! 🏆 This historic moment was made possible thanks to the vision of former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, who initiated the city's host bid during her term.
If you’re wondering why it’s important to vote, look no further than what’s happening right now with the threats to our voting rights.
We can fight back against these attacks on our voting rights, and Keisha has a plan to do that.
Keisha has proven it time and time again: She is a leader who puts Georgia first and will work for all of us.
The anxiety, hopelessness, frustration, and fear people are feeling right now is real. We deserve someone who has our back. Join the campaign now https://t.co/UYwcR01wGH
What an incredible visit and turnout in Albany yesterday!
The candid conversations @keishabottoms had with community leaders, college students and Black farmers about their challenges and hopes for the next governor are what our Standing Up for Georgia tour is all about.
We kicked off our visit to Albany by sitting down with local Black farmers!
With agriculture being the #1 industry here in Georgia, it’s important that our farmers have a governor like @keishabottoms, who not only listens to their concerns, but will deliver for small businesses.
Lance Bottoms’ next stop on the tour will be a meet-and-greet at the Charles Driskell Community Center in Albany tonight at 6 p.m.
WALB News 10’s James Irvin will have more on her campaign and journey to the governor’s race in our later newscast.

On June 30, 1974, Alberta King had just finished playing "The Lord's Prayer" on the organ at Ebenezer Baptist when a man shouted, "I'm taking over here!" A young black man bolted to the pulpit and pulled out a gun. The man, later identified as Marcus Wayne Chenault Jr. of Ohio, fired his gun, hitting Alberta King, church deacon Edward Boykin and congregation member Jimmie Mitchell. Mrs. King and Boykin were taken to the hospital where they pronounced dead. Mrs. King was 69-years-old. The attack occurred less than 100 yards from where her son was buried. Chenault said he was on a mission to kill all Christians and his original target was MLK Sr., considering black pastors a threat to black people. He claimed insanity in his trial but was convicted and sentenced to death in the electric chair. His sentence was later changed to life in prison, due in part to the wishes of the surviving members of the King family, who opposed capital punishment. Chenault died in prison in 1995 at age 44.
Alfred Daniel Williams was found 15 months after his brother's assassination drowned in his own swimming pool. Although he was known as an excellent swimmer. King was active in the civil rights movement fighting for voting and equal rights. Along with being a pastor at a church in Louisville, Kentucky.
King was in a room below when his brother Martin was gunned down as he stood on a second-floor balcony at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis on April 4, 1968.
After his brother's death, A.D. King was heard saying in a conversation overhead by his daughter Alveda King, said: "They killed my brother. I'm gonna find out who did it."
Elon Musk, the richest guy in the world, is going after USAID, which feeds the poorest people in the world.
Next, he’ll go after the programs that impact you: Medicaid, Medicare, community health centers, Pell Grants, affordable housing.
We can stop him.
