During my time with the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation this Spring, I had the distinct honor of interviewing my hometown representative, Congressman Emanuel Cleaver II.
It was a privilege to sit down with a leader who has dedicated his life to service and to hear firsthand about his journey and his vision. Congressman Cleaver has always been an inspiration, and getting to glimpse his life in Washington, D.C., was a full-circle moment I won't forget.
Come with me as we take a look at the life and legacy of a true champion for my community!
