Former NAACP president Kweisi Mfume paid tribute to the late Rep. Elijah Cummings, his friend, at a funeral held at New Psalmist Baptist Church in Baltimore. Mfume, who is also a former Democratic congressman from Maryland, recalled Cummings as “a good man with a good heart” who “taught us all how to hope, how to smile, how to laugh and how to cry." Mfume added, "He taught us how to live and, with grace and dignity, he has taught us how to die.”
