Statement on Passing Senator Vincent Fort

ATLANTA—Mayor Andre Dickens issued the following statement on the passing of State Senator Vincent Fort.

“Vincent Fort has been my friend colleague, and advisor for nearly 12 years. He will go down in Atlanta’s history as a hero for civil, housing and human rights for all. This is a loss for too many who never knew him. My prayers are with his loved ones, his co-workers and audience and the unfortunate folks who never experienced his passion and fire for justice.”
