LULAC Remembers A Brave Friend Of Justice
=========================================


Nation’s Oldest & Largest Civil Rights Organization Pays Tribute to U.S.
Congressman Elijah Cummings
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Washington, DC - Sindy Benavides, National Chief Executive Officer of The League
of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) today issued the following statement on
the passing of Rep. Elijah E. Cummings (D) Maryland:

“LULAC today speaks loudly and proudly of our many years having worked alongside
one of our nation’s greatest champions of civil rights, social justice and the
advancement of gender equality in America.

His fearlessness on behalf of those most vulnerable in our nation and the
unmistakable clarity of his voice for the oppressed were born out of his own
resilient life experience. Representative Cummings was born the son of a
sharecropper and rose to become a member of the Maryland House of Delegates and
later, the U.S. Congress. In all, for more than 36 years, he was a faithful and
devoted public servant whose hallmarks were integrity and distinction.

Through his life’s work he inspired unwavering tenacity in the struggle for civil
rights even in the face of seemingly insurmountable forces and empowered
movements to be steadfast while urging others to rise up and lead within their
own communities.

Nothing was more important to our dear friend than liberty and freedom for all as
guaranteed under our Constitution which is why LULAC rated him at the highest
level in recognition of his commitment to our shared vision.

We will miss our departed Amigo and Hermano, shall cherish all the wisdom he
imparted as we endeavor to reflect his fierce love for righteousness in our
continued march towards a brighter day in America when all men, women and
children can enjoy the full meaning of life, liberty and justice for all.”
