Elijah Cummings' Widow Pays Tribute to Her Husband: 'He Worked Until His Last Breath'

13. This is really hitting me hard too.

Throughout the whole rise of the corrupt right-wing establishment, I have been inspired by civil rights leaders like Elijah Cummings and John Lewis.

I have a picture of a young John Lewis after being beaten silly to remind me that the battles we are fighting will not be solved overnight, and we must be willing to get "beat up" over and over again, even if only psychically, until we get to justice. We MUST persist, no matter how many times they bloody our noses.

I am devastated at Mr. Cummings' death at this moment in our history. May his example give all of us the courage and the will to fight for justice and a better future for all.

We all have to be civil rights activists now.
