Saturday, July 6th: Memorial Service for Bruce A. Dixon.

Many following social media have heard by now that Bruce Dixon, cochair of the Georgia Green Party, co-chair of the Hawkins 2020 Presidential campaign, a founder and the Managing Editor of Black Agenda Report, husband, father, grandfather, lifelong socialist and mentor to many in the movement for a just peace, died yesterday after a three year long battle with leukemia.

He was pronounced dead at 2:32 pm, within 15 minutes of the removal of life support, surrounded by his wife, Carole, three of his four kids, many of Carole's family and a couple of long time comrades from the movement.

While the logistics of the event are still coming together, we already know that a memorial service will be held in the Atlanta area on Saturday, July 6th, 2019. Those wishing to join the family to pay your respects Saturday, July 6th: Memorial Service for Bruce A. Dixon are urged to make your travel arrangements now.

Georgia Greens willing to host our out-of-town guests are urged to communicate privately with Hugh Esco to make known what sort of accommodations you can make available for how many people.

This a first person biographical sketch Bruce wrote about himself only a few months ago.

Bruce, we pray that your family may know comfort at this time and that you may be rewarded with a coveted place in the next realm for your life time of work dedicated to the cause of justice. To Allah is our return. Amen.
