A new state resolution, GA State House of Representatives Resolution 688, has designated Feb. 23 as Ahmaud Arbery Day in Georgia. It comes just one day after a jury found the young Black man’s killers guilty of violating his civil rights in a federal hate crimes trial.
To remember and commemorate Arbery and the instatement of the day, the oldest African-American running club in the country, the South Fulton Running Partners, is holding a day run on the Atlanta Beltline at 6 p.m. Wednesday.
The annual 2.23 mile run will start at The Nia Building at Pittsburgh Yards Development located at 352 University Ave SW in Atlanta.
This event is free and open to the public.
