Protest Playlist: Run with Maud

On February 23rd an unarmed young black man by the name of Ahmaud Arbery was shot and killed for jogging in a Georgia neighborhood. Today, May 8th, we celebrate what would have been Ahmaud’s 26th birthday if he had been given the simple human right to exist as a black man in this country. In memory of Arbery’s life, the movement #irunwithmaud has surfaced on social media.
