No. of Paragraph 14

We are saddened to report that Texas Representative Sheila Jackson Lee, who announced her pancreatic cancer diagnosis in June, has died. Her family announced this on Friday, July 19th, 2024. “A fierce champion of the people, she was affectionately and simply known as Congresswoman by her constituents for her near-ubiquitous presence and service to their daily lives for more than 30 years.” Representative Jackson Lee, 74, had served the 18th Congressional District since 1995.

While she had made Texas her home, Jackson Lee was born in Queens, New York. She planned to be an executive secretary before graduating from Jamaica High School and, according to her obituary in The NY Times. However, the assassination of Martin Luther King ignited a passion within her. She got a scholarship to NYU and later transferred to Yale, where she graduated—she later attended the University of Virginia to obtain her law degree. Jackson Lee moved to Houston when she married Elwyn C. Lee.

According to the NY Times, Jackson Lee served on the Houston City Council for four years before entering the congressional race when Barbara Jordan’s seat became available. Jackson Lee wanted to serve to help women, Black people, and Hispanic people get a fair shot at success. Her legacy is a testament that she did that and so much more.

A statement released by the Congressional Black Caucus lists includes some of them.
