Join us as we honor civil rights icon and longtime Georgia Congressman John R. Lewis, who for over six decades was recognized as a man who courageously fought for racial equity and justice in America. The yearly gala will reprioritize and underscore the Congressman’s work and life, through the institute.
“We are honored to celebrate a Georgia icon and man who uncompromisingly served humanity as was recognized as a pillar of leadership and equality. More importantly, we remain committed to continuing his work,” shares Henry Lewis, Congressman Lewis’ eldest brother.
The evening will feature a pre-gala cocktail hour, live and silent auctions, dinner, an inspirational program, and tributes. Tickets go on sale this month.
"Ours is not the struggle of one day, one week, or one year. Ours is not the struggle of one judicial appointment or presidential term. Ours is the struggle of a lifetime, or maybe even many lifetimes, and each one of us in every generation must do our part."
