ESPN+ is premiering a new documentary on the movement created by Jerry Francois and other Black distance runners who have pledged to “Run with Maud” at the 50th NYC Marathon in November in memory of Ahmaud Arbery, and as a reminder to all about the dangers associated with being a Black man in America.
Ahmaud Arbery was fatally shot by Travis McMichael on Feb. 23, 2020, in Brunswick, Ga. McMichael and his father, Gregory McMichael, pursued Arbery and attempted to make a citizen’s arrest of the 25-year-old Georgia native. Arbery went out for a jog that day and never made it home, as he was chased down by the McMichaels and William Bryan, a third man who joined the pursuit and took a video of the shooting on his cellphone.
