Mr. Elijah Cummings, the Iron Man of Congress
“I want justice, oceans of it. I want fairness, rivers of it. That’s what I want. That’s all I want.” Elijah E. Cummings
Mr. Cummings championed Civil Rights until the day he died, globally! He was the voice of the Nation hailing from a family of sharecroppers! In grade school a counselor advised him he was slow to learn and speak therefore he’d never be a lawyer! He steeled himself to prove that counselor wrong and boy did he do just that. His life is a lesson for us all to learn. Just because someone says you can’t doesn’t mean you can’t. It only means they don’t truly know you and what God has in store for you. Become unstoppable like Mr. Cummings and do you for the world to take note!!
A real Champion Altruists!! 1951–2019
