JOHN LEWIS
Atlanta is a great city in which to live and work, and a wonderful place to visit. I encourage you to take the time to enjoy our beautiful city-the gateway to the "New South."

Our city is more than buildings and concrete-it is a city of warm and wonderful people. It is the birthplace of one of the greatest warriors and leaders of the 20th century. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Dr. King preached the philosophy and the discipline of nonviolence, not only in this city but also throughout the nation and around the world. Atlanta is truly a city that is striving to become the "Beloved Community."
With all good wishes,
It is my hope that during your visit you will have an opportunity to enjoy and participate in all aspects of this booming city.
