The Honorable Elijah Cummings: A Quintessential Man Who Did It His Way By Sherman Howell Over thirty years ago, I was sitting on the steps of the Maryland State House in Annapolis, wearing a pinstripe suit with a white shirt and tie awaiting the next hearing sessions. I was drawn there for business on behalf of my local N.A.A.C.P. chapter.
