In Memorium

Elijah Cummings 1951 -2019

This was a poem he recited during his first floor speech he gave to Congress in 1996

Elijah was the most dedicated Congressman who during his career successfully searched and found the common ground in political rivals he worked with, to make meaningful legislative changes in order to improve life for all Americans.
To say he will be missed is an understatement. They just don't make Congressmen like him anymore.

How odd that I had JUST watched the movie on tv about his father.... I had never seen it before. A lovely story, full of romance, strife, sadness and all of that.
