Foundation established to honor John Lewis, wife announces launch

Afoundation has been established to honor the late Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) and his wife, Lillian Miles Lewis, and will hold a gala in May to mark its launch.

The John and Lillian Miles Lewis Foundation announced on Monday - which would have been the late congressman's 82nd birthday - that the group will hold a gala on May 17, 2022, in Washington, D.C.

The group said the gala will be "a collective moment of reflection on the life and legacy of the civil rights icon John Lewis and also celebrate the Lewises' vision and values."

Funds raised as part of the gala will go towards initiatives that further the values of the organization.
