An Atlanta law firm, Harris Lowry Manton LLP, has donated money and commissioned a portrait to honor the late U.S. congressman and Civil Rights leader John Lewis.
The personal injury firm unveiled the portrait, which hangs in its Brookhaven office at 1418 Dresden Drive, on April 2 in a special ceremony, according to a press release. During the ceremony, firm partners donated $5,000 to the John and Lillian Miles Lewis Foundation, a nonprofit that carries on the legacy of Lewis through promotion of “nonviolence, voting rights, civic engagement, social justice, democracy, international peace, human rights and civil liberties,” according to its website.
“We are deeply grateful to the attorneys and staff at Harris Lowry Manton for their generous donation and support of our mission,” said Mignon Morman Willis, treasurer for the foundation, in the press release.
As a nation, if we care for the Beloved Community, we must move our feet, our hands, our hearts, our resources to build and not tear down, to reconcile and not to divide, to love and not to hate.
