The Coming of Age - A Black Legacy!

So, Tonight… The Coming of Age – A Black Legacy! As we hear the angles in heaven singing with the joy of the Lord as they welcome home one of God’s angels, in Elijah Cummings, we now mourn the loss of another giant amongst African-America leaders, in former Congressman John Conyers, who passed at age 90, this past weekend. Both these men left a personal and public servant legacy that will likely stand the test of time.  On Friday, Congressman Cummings, in the presence of former presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, Secretary Hillary Clinton, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Rep. Mark Meadows, and Jim Jordan, along with dozens of Congressional members…. the Son of Baltimore was eulogized and laid to rest with an inspiring and honoring message by his pastor Bishop Walter Thomas.  So tonight we’ll discuss the coming of age – a black legacy with our esteem guest, a icon in his own right. An advocate, an leader, and public servant for African-Americans. He is the Director of the NAACP’s Washington Bureau and Senior Vice President for Advocacy and Policy.  He is the former Director of Government Affairs for the UNCF, and member of the Congressional Black Caucus Institute. He is the recipient of numerous awards, for which he is most proud is the National NAACP Medgar Evers Award for Excellence. The highest honor bestowed upon a national member of the NAACP.   My guest tonight a first time, and hopefully not the last, is Mr. Hillary Shelton.
