Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee Dies at 74

by Beyondboders

Sheila Jackson Lee, a long-time US Congresswoman from Texas and a strong advocate for racial justice and minority rights, has passed away at the age of 74.

Lee, who was Black and served in Congress for nearly 30 years, had shared last month that she was battling pancreatic cancer.

Her family announced the news of her death on Friday, sharing their grief and gratitude for her life in a statement on social media platform X. They described her as “a fierce champion of the people” and a humanitarian.”

The Congressional Black Caucus honoured Lee as a “titan” and “a fierce advocate for social and economic justice, national security, and children and working families.”

Former President Bill Clinton praised her as “a fearless fighter for the people” and one of the country’s most effective leaders. He highlighted her work on women and children’s issues, gun reform, and the Constitution.
