But none of that justifies what happen to Ahmaud in Feburary 2020. Arbery was shot and killed in the middle of the street while jogging through a predominately white neighborhood one afternoon. It was told to his mother and family that he was caught breaking and entering a home which led to his untimely death. Unbeknown, 2 months later, a video surface of what happen that day in his shooting. Not only were lies being spread, but it also showed the mismanagement of the case by police department, it's officers, and the district attorney(who's no longer in office). The cover-ups of this case was real, because of the shooters involved in the case. After the outrage of the city coming together, the murderers were finally arrested and have been sitting in jail ever since waiting on tria...

Kwame Brown was a center in the Natiinal Basketball League for a good 8+ years. Unfortunately due to injury that clotheslined his career for awhile, he was able to have a longer lengthly carrer. Kwame is another sports prodigy from my hometown Btunswick, Georgia. Kwame was one of the biggest( literally 7ft) high school players in the region and state. His play earned him national attention, including the likes of the G.O.A.T, The Micheal Air Jordan himself. Jordan was so impress by Kwame that he signed him to the #1 draft pick in the 2001 NBA draft to the Washington Wizards right after high school graduation. During his tenue in the league hes played with different teams including one of my favorites, the Los Angeles Lakers along side one of my favorite players, Kobe Bryant(RIP). After the NBA, he joined the Big 3 League which was created by rapper/actor Ice Cube. During his time in big 3 he won a championship. Now Kwame is close back home and during that time hes opened up his own res...
