ATLANTA (CBS46) — The Georgia NAACP will hold the “March on Georgia” Monday morning at the Georgia State Capitol as the state’s General Assembly returns to work for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic started.
The peaceful march will also feature a speech from Atlanta Hawks Head Coach Lloyd Pierce. He’s a member of the National Basketball Coaches Association’s committee on racial injustice and reform and has been a leading voice on racial issues among coaches in the NBA.
The march is expected to begin at 9 a.m. at the Richard B. Russell Federal Building before concluding at the Georgia State Capitol.
