“What we saw overnight was not a protest, and it was not Atlanta.
We as a people are strongest when we use our voices to heal our city instead of using our hands to tear it down.
We know our citizens are angry.
We are angry and we want justice.
If we are to enact change in this nation, I implore everyone to channel their anger and sorrow into something more meaningful and effective through non-violent activism…Now more than ever, I am calling on our communities to come together to show our strength as one Atlanta through prayer and working together to restore and heal our city as an example for the nation.”
