Today, we remember Rep. Charles Rangel, a trailblazer who spent nearly five decades fighting for Black communities in Congress.

Former U.S. Rep. Charles Rangel of New York has died at age 94. The outspoken, gravel-voiced Harlem Democrat spent nearly five decades on Capitol Hill and was a founding member of the Congressional Black Caucus. His family confirmed his death in a statement provided by City College of New York spokesperson Michelle Stent. She said he died Monday at a New York hospital. A veteran of the Korean War, he defeated legendary Harlem politician Adam Clayton Powell in 1970 to start his congressional career. During the next 40-plus years, he became a legend himself. In 2010, the House censured him following an ethics scandal. But he stayed in Congress until 2017.
