Statement on Passing of Wanda Smith

ATLANTA—Mayor Andre Dickens issued the following statement on the passing of Atlanta media staple Wanda Smith

“Atlanta has lost a staple with the passing of Wanda Smith—not only in our city’s media, but our culture. We not only trusted her—we relied on her for her acumen, common sense way of speaking to her listeners…and perhaps most importantly, telling us it was okay to laugh in good times and bad. She was a voice for so many Atlantans and my thoughts and prayers are with her family, loved ones and folks like me who just loved her love for our city.”
