Statement on the Death of Former Congressman Parren Mitchell

Posted by Stephanie Taylor on May 29, 2007 at 05:05 PM

Governor Howard Dean issued the following statement offering condolences on the death of former Congressman Parren Mitchell:

"As a veteran, founding member of the Congressional Black Caucus and a civil rights champion, Congressman Parren Mitchell fought tirelessly to give all Americans equal rights under the law. He also made history by serving as Maryland’s first black congressman. Congressman Mitchell was widely known for his hard work, commitment to the underprivileged, and as a fiery advocate for change. He will be sorely missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with Congressman Mitchell’s family and friends along with the constituents he proudly served for eight terms in Maryland’s 7th district."
