A Lasting Legacy: Howard University Remembers Alumnus U.S. Representative Elijah Cummings

A formal memorial service is scheduled for U.S. Representative Elijah Cummings on Thursday, October 24, one week after the longtime congressman passed away at age 68.

But long before he made his mark on the national stage, he made his mark as a student at Howard University. NewsVision reporter Kaprielle Trenard has reaction.
