Inside Atlanta City Hall lies the Marvin S. Arrington, Sr. Council Chamber, named after one of Atlanta’s influential leaders in government, the late Marvin Arrington, Sr. Inside of that chamber Monday afternoon another Atlanta legend was honored for his legacy as the groundbreaking first Black Mayor of Atlanta, Maynard Holbrook Jackson, Jr. Though Jackson died 20 years ago this past June, the anniversary of the first of his three terms as Atlanta’s mayor began when he was elected October 16, 1973.
The post Mayor, Leader, Legend: Maynard Jackson honored with proclamation at City Hall appeared first on The Atlanta Voice.
