Atlanta, June 24 (RHC)-- In Atlanta, Rayshard Brooks was laid to rest, 11 days after he was shot twice in the back and killed by an Atlanta police officer outside a Wendy’s restaurant. 

His killing sparked an uprising against racism and police brutality that culminated in the arrest of officer Garrett Rolfe on felony murder charges.  

Brooks was honored by friends and family who gathered at the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church for his funeral.  Reverend Bernice King delivered the eulogy.  She said: “My daddy, Martin Luther King Jr., who taught us that true peace is not merely the absence of tension, but it is the presence of justice, therefore there can be no peace in Atlanta, nor anywhere in our nation, where there is no justice. No justice, no peace.”
