Keri Hilson, Ahmaud Arbery’s parents among honorees at Georgia Legislative Black Caucus 42nd Annual Heritage Dinner

During the Georgia Legislative Black Caucus’s (GLBC) 42nd Annual Heritage Dinner, Marcus Arbery explained his passion for justice has not wavered. Friday was the fourth anniversary the death of Marcus’s son, Ahmaud Arbery. Held at the Georgia International Convention Center in College Park, Marcus Arbery told the crowd he still believes in his children and wouldn’t step on anyone’s toes.

“Let’s join together and fight this war because racism isn’t going anywhere,” says Arbery.

During his remarks he singled out former district attorney Jackie Johnson. In November 2023, Senior Judge John R. Turner refused to dismiss charges levied against Johnson. Johnson was indicted on September 2021. She was charged with a felony count of violating her oath of office and with hindering a law enforcement investigation, a misdemeanor.
