Atlanta Posthumously Honors Actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner with Proclamation

The City of Atlanta posthumously honored actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner, best known for his role as Theo Huxtable on "The Cosby Show," following his tragic drowning earlier this year. Atlanta City Council declared October 20 as "Malcolm-Jamal Warner Day" to recognize his significant artistic contributions and devotion to the Atlanta community. Councilman Michael Julian Bond praised Warner not only for his entertainment achievements but also for his kindness and lasting positive influence on the city and its vibrant arts scene. Beyond acting, Warner was deeply involved in Atlanta's arts and spoken-word communities as a poet, musician, and podcast host, especially after his role on the TV series "The Resident." The proclamation encourages Atlantans to remember the joy, creativity, and humanity Warner brought to the world. His legacy continues to resonate strongly within both the local community and the broader entertainment industry.
