“The John and Lillian Miles Lewis Foundation mourns the passing of media visionary and philanthropist Ted Turner. Mr. Turner transformed journalism, entertainment, and global philanthropy through bold leadership and an unwavering belief in the power of information and humanity.
Congressman John Lewis deeply valued individuals willing to challenge convention in pursuit of a better world, and Ted Turner’s life reflected that spirit. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and all who were inspired by his extraordinary legacy.
May we continue to honor his example by building a more informed, compassionate, and just society.”

As a nation, if we care for the Beloved Community, we must move our feet, our hands, our hearts, our resources to build and not tear down, to reconcile and not to divide, to love and not to hate.
