ATLANTA — Family members and friends and local and state leaders gathered in Atlanta on Thursday to celebrate the life of Brianna Grier, who died after falling out of a patrol car in Hancock County last month.
Civil rights activist Rev. Al Sharpton led the processional into West Hunter Baptist Church and delivered the eulogy.
“The program says we come to celebrate her life but we also come to condemn her passing,” Sharpton said. “Her life matters and that’s why we are here and will stay here.”
