Reimagine the Legacy: Honoring Congressman John Lewis is an annual memorial initiative led by Central Atlanta Progress that encourages reflection, learning, celebration, and action, all centered around the life and legacy of the late Congressman.
Program activities take place across the city between the period of July 17th and July 30th, commemorating the days Lewis passed away and was laid to rest in 2020.
The memorial initiative culminates in a moment of reflection through the ringing of bells at 11:00 AM on July 30th. Bells will ring throughout the Atlanta community and beyond for 80 seconds, honoring the Congressman’s 80 years of life.
