Former Lawmaker Ralph David Abernathy III Dies of Cancer
Ralph David Abernathy III, former state lawmaker and son of civil rights leader Ralph David Abernathy Jr., died Thursday morning of cancer.
The younger Abernathy’s fame was more tied to his trouble with the law.
He spent time in prison for submitting false expense vouchers to the Georgia General Assembly and lying about it.
Abernathy was 56 years old.
