Flashback - Holder Praises Conyers: He’s Dedicated Himself to Advancing ‘Human Dignity’ and ‘Respect’

‘He’s dedicated himself to advancing the principles of universal human dignity, tolerance as well as respect’

EXCERPT:

HOLDER: "As one of the 13 founding members of the Congressional Black Caucus, Representative Conyers helped bring together other trailblazers and pioneers in order to empower – and give voice to – people of color throughout the nation. Years ago, he led the fight to secure appropriate recognition for the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. by introducing legislation to establish a national holiday in his honor.  And at every stage of his distinguished career – through times of trial and great consequence – he has dedicated himself to advancing the principles of universal human dignity, tolerance, and respect."
