    Pretty much have to be from Michigan to have heard of him, especially in this new era of politics.

    I did too!

    Then I thought, "A movie character wouldn't be dead."

    On one level he did good and fought for the under privileged and equality and then he is accused of abusing women and taking advantage of their weaker positions

    Rashida Tliab ignored the sexual accusations because he is a fellow Democrat but if he was a Republican he would be castigated

    Ultimately God knows the whole truth and if the allegations are true and he hasn't repented he now realises his position on earth means nothing before God

    WaPo would say he was an austere politician. Looking at Biden, Clintons and such, they just might be nearer the truth.

    I distinctively remember him - He was an inspiration and a hero to many in the A-A community, unfortunately, he was also a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat.

    I hope he knew Jesus.
