March 2, 2021

Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms issued the following statement:

Derek and I are deeply saddened by the passing of Vernon E. Jordan, Jr. Like many others in Atlanta, there is a deep and abiding personal connection to Mr. Jordan. He spent a lifetime fighting injustice—from the marching band of David T. Howard High School, to the court room, to the White House, to the boardroom and beyond, he made Atlanta proud to call him our own. Our family’s thoughts, prayers and love are with his family during the difficult days ahead.
