      For the CBC, John Conyers was more than a founding member. He was a guiding light. We will continue his vision by serving as the “Conscience of the Congress” in pursuit of justice for all Americans. We extend our deepest condolences to his wife, sons, family, and friends.pic.twitter.com/k5nvQ3GaqY

          Conyers hired Rosa Parks to serve in his Detroit office after she was threatened and blackballed following the Montgomery bus boycott. She would go on to work for him for more than 20 years, until her retirement. #RIPJohnConyersJrpic.twitter.com/q9LOb1w3O6

          I had occasion to meet John Conyers in his DC office in 1998. While waiting my turn, I watched him lead a young man lovingly & deftly to a life-changing idea. I came away convinced in my heart that he was a Sufi Sheykh. What a remarkable human being. May God be pleased with him.
