Atlanta Falcons wear Apalachee HS t-shirts, hold moment of silence for shooting victims
ATLANTA – The Atlanta Falcons went into their home opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers with respect, paying homage to the victims of the Apalachee High School shooting.
The players wore Apalachee Wildcats t-shirts on the field during pregame warm-ups.
They also held a moment of silence for math teachers Richard Aspinwall and Christina Irimie, and 14-year-old Mason Schermerhorn and Christian Angulo who were killed on September 4. Nine others were injured in the gunfire, according to the GBI.
How to help Apalachee High School shooting victims
The Falcons’ new quarterback Kirk Cousins said Coach Raheem Morris told the team about the deadly shooting the day it happened.

“It was very sobering,” Cousins said, as reported by Falcons senior reporter Tori McElhaney. “We’re praying for the families affected. The school, the community. It’s a tough deal. Going to go home tonight and hug and kiss my kids.”
Apalachee High School is about 20 miles away from the Falcons’ Flowery Branch training facility.

Atlanta church’s “Environmental Justice Sunday” puts spotlight on health gaps in communities of color
On Auburn Avenue, where Atlanta’s Black history runs deep, a Sunday service turned into a call for survival.
At Big Bethel AME Church, faith leaders, activists, and residents gathered for “Environmental Justice Sunday,” urging Atlanta to confront a stark reality: environmental inequality is shaping who gets to live healthier, longer lives.
Timed with Earth Day weekend, the service reframed climate and environmental issues as both a moral and public health crisis — one disproportionately impacting Black communities.
“Environmental justice is about making sure all communities are not exposed to environmental hazards,” said Dr. Benjamin F. Chavis Jr., a pioneer of the movement.
The disparities, close to home
Speakers pointed to challenges already playing out across metro Atlanta:
All are part of a broader pattern where environmental burdens fall unevenly — and predictably.
Faith meets policy
Rev. Dr. Jonathan C. Augustine framed the issue as a responsibility that extends beyond the church.
Leaders called for greater investment in public health and stronger environmental protections, arguing that solutions will require action at every level — from local infrastructure to federal policy.
Why it matters now
Organizers said the goal isn’t just awareness; it’s mobilization.
Because for many communities, environmental justice isn’t theoretical. It’s immediate:
- The air they breathe
- The heat they endure
- The flooding they can’t escape
And increasingly, it’s shaping long-term health outcomes and economic stability.
The bottom line
At one of Atlanta’s most historic Black churches, the message was clear:
The fight for justice is expanding with the environment now at its center.

As Southern food cities, Atlanta and Charleston both hold their own. So it’s no wonder a handful of eateries based in the Holy City have found their way to our metro area. These six restaurants are popular in Charleston, and now, they’re popular options in Atlanta.
