May 29, 2007 -- WASHINGTON, D.C. –"Congressman Parren Mitchell was an American trailblazer. His fight for civil rights evolved into a lifetime commitment to increasing minority business ownership and and battling poverty in our communities. Congressman Mitchell helped the Congressional Black Caucus grow in size and influence each Congress, providing inspiration to the next generation of African American leaders. My thoughts and prayers are with the Mitchell family. It's men like Parren Mitchell that made my career in public service possible."
