Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “Let us realize the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”
For Kendrick Johnson’s family, it has been eight long agonizing years since the 17-year-old was found dead in the gymnasium at Lowndes High School in Valdosta, Ga., wrapped in a gym mat upside down on January 11, 2013. The county sheriff’s department concluded after its short investigation that the youth died in a freak accident. Sheriffs said he crawled into the mat while trying to recover a sneaker and suffocated.

A Georgia sheriff s office is reopening an investigation into the 2013 death of Kendrick Johnson, a Black teenager whose body was found inside a rolled-up gym mat in his high school gymnasium.
Lowndes County Sheriff Ashley Paulk, who was retired at the time of Johnson s death, confirmed to NPR that his office officially reopened the investigation on Friday. It did so after receiving documents it had long requested from a Justice Department investigation that closed in 2016.
