For Black residents of Ahmaud Arbery's hometown, trust in the justice system is on trial right alongside his accused killers

Carrying signs that read "Justice for Ahmaud," the demonstrators marched past majestic live oaks draped with Spanish moss. They chanted Ahmaud Arbery's name as they wound through the streets, past a hardware store, several homes, a convenience store. They rounded the corner by the floral shop, calling for those watching from the sidewalk to join them.

They soon stopped on a lawn of the Brunswick African American Cultural Center, 10 miles from the residential block where Arbery was shot to death. It was the fifth day of testimony in the trial of the White men accused of killing the Black jogger, and dozens of people had gathered for a march that started outside the Glynn County courthouse.

At the cultural center, where a mural of Arbery's smiling face sits against a blue and yellow backdrop, Annie Polite took a break, sitting down in her walker.
