Brunswick, Georgia (November 15, 2021) – Martin Luther King III to join Rev. Al Sharpton and the family of Ahmaud Arbery on Thursday, November 18th for a Wall of Prayer in front of the Glynn County Courthouse in Brunswick, Georgia. Over 150 Black pastors have planned to attend the prayer wall to lend their support to the family.

Last week, Rev. Al Sharpton’s visit to the trial for the killers of Ahmaud Arbery prompted remarks by defense Attorney Kevin Gough objecting to his presence and other Black pastors in court. Immediately following, Rev. Al Sharpton called for 100 or more Black pastors to stand in solidarity and prayer with the family this Thursday at Noon in front of the Glynn County Courthouse.

Among Thursday’s co-conveners are Bishop Reginald Jackson, AME Church (African Methodist Episcopal), Rev. Jamal Bryant of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, and more are signing up to Sharpton’s appeal. The attorneys for the family Attorney Benjamin Crump and Lee Merritt, Esquire will be among those standing with the clergy and family.
