Ahmaud Arbery muralist turns to Brunswick history
Marvin Weeks memorialized Ahmaud Arbery in a mural after he was killed while jogging in 2020. His latest work delves into Brunswick, Georgia's history with a focus on race relations.
BRUNSWICK, Ga. — The trial of three white men accused of murdering Ahmaud Arbery has put Brunswick back in the national spotlight. Arbery was the 25-year old Black man shot to death last year while jogging through a neighborhood.
Artist Marvin Weeks memorialized Arbery in a mural that has become a focal point for racial justice advocates in this town on the Georgia coast.
"I think that's very important," Weeks says. "A gathering place, you know, because my work really centers around neighborhoods."
