Elijah Cummings, who served as the U.S. Representative for Maryland's 7th Congressional District from 1996 until his death in 2019, had a profound impact on West Baltimore, and left a lasting legacy behind him.

A tireless advocate for the community, Cummings used his position to fight for economic revitalization, social justice, and civil rights. He advanced community development projects aimed at improving housing, schools, and infrastructure and worked to bridge the gap between the community and law enforcement.

Cummings' life and career are a testament to the power of resilience and public service to make a difference in inner-city communities.
