In order to be a legend you have to learn from and study the legends.

A legend today is known for their noted celebrity and larger-than-life accomplishments, whose fame is well-known.

US Rep. Elijah Cummings, a longtime Maryland Democrat and a key figure leading investigations into President Donald Trump, has died at the age of 68, on October 17, 2019

He died of “complications concerning longstanding health challenges,” his office said in a statement.

Cummings was born in 1951 and raised in Baltimore — the city that is home to his district. The son of former sharecroppers, Cummings graduated from Baltimore City College High School in 1969.

He practiced law and served for 14 years in the Maryland House of Delegates, where, according to his congressional website, he became the first African-American in Maryland history to be named speaker pro tem.

He was first elected to the US Congress in 1996. Cummings was re-elected last year in the 7th Congressional District with 76% of the vote.
