T.I. , Kerry Kennedy and More Celebrate Civil Rights Icon John Lewis

On Saturday, March 28, 2020, family, friends, constituents and the beloved community will honor Congressman John Lewis at the historic Tabernacle in Atlanta to celebrate his milestone 80th birthday. The evening is sure to be joy-filled and star-studded with confirmed guests to date including Kerry Kennedy, Bebe Winans, CeCe Winans, Tip “T.I.” Harris, Peggy Wallace Kennedy, Cassi Davis Patton, Terrence C. Carson, Jamey Johnson, Bryan Stevenson, historian Douglas Brinkley and special video from President Obama, with more guests to be announced in the coming weeks.

This historic celebration, which serves as a fundraiser for the Congressman’s campaign, since qualifying this week to run, for re-election this November, will include a program of music, dance, and narration dedicated to this civil rights icon.

“We are thrilled to be coming together yet again to celebrate Congressman Lewis’s 80th birthday,” says Michael Collins, Congressman Lewis’ Chief of Staff. “His dedication to the highest ethical standards and moral principles has won him the admiration of many of his colleagues on both sides of the aisle in the United States Congress and we look forward to honoring this living legend on March 28th.”

The last celebration in 2015, marking Congressman Lewis’s 75th birthday celebration was received by a sold out audience including Alfre Woodard, Dionne Warwick, Tichina Arnold, Kim Fields, Jennifer Holliday, Regina Belle, Terri J. Vaughn, Morehouse College Glee Club, video from President Obama and John Legend to name a few.
