but Violence 'Not a Solution'

Harkening back his early political career in segregation-era Georgia, former President Jimmy Carter said Wednesday that he and former First Lady Rosalynn Carter "are pained by the tragic racial injustices and consequent backlash across our nation in recent weeks."

He did not specifically name George Floyd, the unarmed black man who died last week in Minneapolis, or Ahmaud Arbery, who was fatally shot while jogging in South Georgia. (Though Arbery was killed in February, his death was thrust into the national spotlight this month.)

Since Floyd was killed in police custody on May 25, large protests have spread across the country. Many have been peaceful but some have descended to rioting and violence, including in Atlanta, home to The Carter Center.

Mass demonstrations have been held daily in Georgia since last week and are expected to continue.
