Cobb County was one of many communities that saw peaceful protests against racism this summer.
Nationwide protests started in late May and June in response to the police deaths of George Floyd in Minnesota and Breonna Taylor in Kentucky. The movement gained more steam when details surfaced about Ahmaud Arbery, who was pursued and shot while he was jogging by a father and son near Brunswick in south Georgia.
While riots broke out in Atlanta and other cities across the U.S., local demonstrations remained peaceful.
