CT Martin Joins Ancestors

Posted on by Jabari Simama

The 84-year old long-serving member of the Atlanta City Council transcended this morning to join the ancestors. He was one of my best friends and always extended to me unconditional love. I will write more later about this gift to humanity and giant of a man who always spoke softly. May he RIP.

The quiet warrior has transcended to be with God and the ancestors. RIP.
