Metro-Atlanta knows too well of the Black lives lost as a result of bigotry, given that the simmering emotions boiled over during the summer of 2020 at the CNN center. Murals across the city commemorate the martyrs of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement.

Ralph Yarl, an innocent 16-year-old, continues in critical condition after a White man shot him several times. For a simple errand run, Yarl almost lost his life in the hands of Andrew Lester. So far, prosecutors have charged Lester on one account of assault and one account of armed criminal action. Yarl currently finds himself on the road to recovery.
