Mourning the death of former U.S. Representative Charles B. Rangel, distinguished public servant, statesman, and beloved member of the Harlem community

AI Summary

This resolution mourns the death of Charles B. Rangel, a distinguished former U.S. Representative from New York who served in Congress for 46 years, representing Harlem's 13th Congressional District from 1971 to 2017. The resolution highlights Rangel's significant accomplishments, including being a decorated Korean War veteran who earned a Purple Heart and Bronze Star, a founding member of the Congressional Black Caucus, and the first African American to chair the powerful House Ways and Means Committee. It emphasizes his lifelong commitment to social justice, civil rights, and economic equity, noting his legislative achievements such as the Empowerment Zones Act and his continued public service after retirement through work at the City College of New York. Often called the "Lion of Lenox Avenue," Rangel is remembered as a moral voice and unwavering advocate for his community who championed education, opportunity, and representation. The resolution officially pauses to mourn his passing, recognizes his enduring contributions to New York State and the United States, and resolves to transmit a copy of the resolution to his family, acknowledging his profound impact on public service and social progress.
