Ray notes video evidence subverts standard racist playbook
Politico Op-Ed examines Ahmaud Arbery trial

"[W]hile many are rejoicing that 'the spirit of Ahmaud defeated the lynch mob,' as attorney Ben Crump said, we need to continue working together to ensure that those who perpetuate unjustified acts of vigilantism are held accountable as well."
