ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - A group of mothers of children killed by police gathered at Kathryn Johnston Memorial Park in West Atlanta on Sunday, beginning a multiple-day effort to raise awareness about police brutality.
“This is pretty much our community day,” said Ashley McKenzie Smith, whose son Jaylin was killed by police in Memphis last year. Charges were not filed against the officer involved.
The women handed out boxes of goodies, including food, to people at the park.
