A group of around 86 people gathered at Litway Missionary Baptist Church Sunday night for a panel discussion on race relations in Savannah.
The question and answer session was put on by local community activist organization LB4 and After. Founders Linda Bryan and Lawrence Bryan started the organization in the name of their son, Lawrence Bryan IV, who was killed in a City Market shooting in 2015.
The panel of five included Lisa Ring, the 2020 Democratic challenger for Georgia’s 1st Congressional District; John McMasters, a former Chatham County Commissioner; Jolene Byrne, a former Savannah-Chatham County School Board president; Terry Tolbert, the chairman of the Chatham County Board of Assessors; and Ricardo Manuel, Pastor at Second Ebenezer Missionary Baptist Church.
