  • Summary

  • On February 23, 2020, Ahmaud Arbery was jogging in his suburban neighborhood when two white men, a father and son, decided Arbery might be the culprit of a suspected robbery. They got in their truck, chased him, and ultimately shot him. News reports have referred to the incident as a “shooting,” a “murder,” and a “killing.” But lawyer and commentator Elie Mystal says it’s clear that it should be called a “lynching.”  He unpacks the country’s unique and horrific legacy of control and violence towards Black Americans -- and he tells Rebecca Carroll why it’s so important to use that word.
