This Black History Month, we’re celebrating Black leaders who have accomplished so much for Georgia — and who are continuing to do so. These are just some of the many who have shaped Georgia history.
Congressman John Lewis dedicated his life to the fight for civil rights and helped advocate for the passage of the Voting Rights Act, which secured protections for Black voters in Georgia and across the country. A bill honoring Rep. John Lewis and pushing to strengthen voting rights is currently being stonewalled in Congress by Republicans.
Stacey Abrams built a massive organizing operation across the state of Georgia and showed us that it WAS possible for Democrats to win statewide in Georgia. Her organizing and voter protection efforts were instrumental to electing Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Georgia’s two Democratic U.S. Senators.
Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock is the first Black Senator to represent Georgia and the first Black Democrat elected to the Senate from a Southern state. His back-to-back victories helped Democrats win the Senate majority in 2021 and expand our control in 2022. As the senior pastor for Ebenezer Baptist Church and a U.S. Senator, he continues Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy of fighting for civil rights and ministering to the country.
Georgia wouldn’t be where it is today without the work of our Black leaders. As we continue for a brighter future, we believe our state’s best days are yet to come.
