  • 00:01:26
    Cummings came from good soil
  • 00:01:35
    and in this sturdy frame goodness took
  • 00:01:40
    root
  • 00:01:45
    his parents were sharecroppers from the
  • 00:01:49
    south
  • 00:01:51
    they picked tobacco and strawberries and
  • 00:01:56
    then sought something better in this
  • 00:02:02
    city South Baltimore and Robert worked
  • 00:02:09
    shifts at a plant and Ruth cleaned other
  • 00:02:13
    people's homes they became parents of
  • 00:02:18
    seven preachers to a small flock I
  • 00:02:26
    remember I had the pleasure of meeting
  • 00:02:28
    Eliza's mother Ruth and she told me she
  • 00:02:33
    prayed for me every day
  • 00:02:37
    and I knew it was true and I felt better
  • 00:02:42
    for it sometimes people say they're
  • 00:02:46
    praying for you and you don't know
  • 00:02:54
    they might be praying about you
  • 00:02:56
    [Applause]
  • 00:02:59
    but you don't know if they're praying
  • 00:03:01
    for you
  • 00:03:04
    but I knew this brute was telling the
  • 00:03:08
    truth so they were the proverbial salt
  • 00:03:16
    of the earth and they passed on that
  • 00:03:19
    strength and that grit but also that
  • 00:03:28
    kindness and that faith to their son as
  • 00:03:33
    a boy
  • 00:03:35
    Elijah's dad made him shine his shoes
  • 00:03:39
    and tie his tie and they'd go to the
  • 00:03:43
    airport not to bore their planes but to
  • 00:03:48
    watch others do it I remember Elijah
  • 00:03:50
    telling me this story Robert would say I
  • 00:03:52
    have not flied I may not fly but you
  • 00:03:59
    will fly one day we can't afford it
  • 00:04:04
    right now but you will fly as
  • 00:04:09
    grandmother as Elijah related and as
  • 00:04:14
    grandmother's do was a little more
  • 00:04:16
    impatient with her advice your daddy
  • 00:04:21
    she said he'd been waiting and waiting
  • 00:04:23
    and waiting for a better day don't you
  • 00:04:26
    wait and Elijah did not wait against all
  • 00:04:35
    odds Elijah
  • 00:04:38
    earned his degrees he learned about the
  • 00:04:43
    rights that all people in this country
  • 00:04:47
    are supposed to possess with little help
  • 00:04:52
    apparently from Perry Mason
  • 00:04:55
    Alijah became a lawyer to make sure that
  • 00:04:59
    others had rights and his people had
  • 00:05:07
    their god-given rights and from the
  • 00:05:10
    Statehouse to the House of
  • 00:05:12
    Representatives his commitment to
  • 00:05:15
    justice and the rights of others would
  • 00:05:18
    never ever waver
  • 00:05:23
    Elijah's example the son of parents who
  • 00:05:29
    rose from nothing to carve out just a
  • 00:05:33
    little something the public servant who
  • 00:05:39
    toiled to guarantee the least of us have
  • 00:05:44
    the same opportunities that he had
  • 00:05:48
    earned a leader who once said he'd die
  • 00:05:52
    for his people even as he lived every
  • 00:05:56
    minute for his life validates the things
  • 00:06:03
    we tell ourselves about what's possible
  • 00:06:06
    in this country not guaranteed but
  • 00:06:13
    possible
  • 00:06:16
    the possibility that our destinies are
  • 00:06:20
    not preordained but rather through our
  • 00:06:27
    works and our dedication and our
  • 00:06:30
    willingness to open our hearts to God's
  • 00:06:34
    message of love for all people we can
  • 00:06:38
    live a purposeful life that we can reap
  • 00:06:43
    a bountiful harvest but we are neither
  • 00:06:48
    sentenced to wither among the rocks nor
  • 00:06:51
    assured bounty but we had the capacity
  • 00:06:54
    the chance as individuals and as a
  • 00:07:00
    nation to root ourselves in good soil
  • 00:07:10
    Elijah understood that that's why I
  • 00:07:14
    fought for justice that's why he
  • 00:07:18
    embraced this beloved community of
  • 00:07:21
    Baltimore that's why he went on to fight
  • 00:07:27
    for the rights and opportunities of
  • 00:07:29
    Forgotten people all across America not
  • 00:07:33
    just in his district
  • 00:07:35
    [Applause]
  • 00:07:42
    he was never complacent free knew that
  • 00:07:46
    without clarity of purpose in a
  • 00:07:49
    steadfast faith and the dogged
  • 00:07:52
    determination demanded by our Liberty
  • 00:07:56
    the promise of this nation can wither
  • 00:08:03
    complacency he knew was not only
  • 00:08:08
    corrosive for our collective lives but
  • 00:08:11
    for our individual lives it's been
  • 00:08:16
    remarked that Elijah was a kind man I
  • 00:08:25
    told my daughters and I have to say
  • 00:08:29
    listening to Elijah's daughter's speak
  • 00:08:34
    that got me choked up I'm sure those of
  • 00:08:40
    you who have sons feel the same way but
  • 00:08:42
    there's something about daughters and
  • 00:08:44
    their father
  • 00:08:51
    and I was thinking I'd want my daughters
  • 00:08:53
    to know how much I love them but I'd
  • 00:08:56
    also want them to know that being a
  • 00:08:59
    strong man includes being kind that
  • 00:09:09
    there's nothing weak about kindness and
  • 00:09:13
    compassion
  • 00:09:14
    there's nothing weak about looking out
  • 00:09:16
    for us there's nothing there's nothing
  • 00:09:24
    weak about being honorable you're not a
  • 00:09:29
    sucker to have integrity and the treat
  • 00:09:32
    others with respect
  • 00:09:40
    I was sitting here and I was just
  • 00:09:41
    noticing the Honorable Elijah it comes
  • 00:09:49
    and you know this is a title that we
  • 00:09:58
    confer on all kinds of people who get
  • 00:10:01
    elected to public office
  • 00:10:13
    we're supposed to introduce them as
  • 00:10:16
    honorable
  • 00:10:23
    but
  • 00:10:25
    but Elijah Cummings was honorable before
  • 00:10:28
    he was elected office there's a
  • 00:10:31
    difference
  • 00:10:38
    there's a difference
  • 00:10:40
    if you were honorable and treated others
  • 00:10:44
    honorably
  • 00:10:49
    outside the limelight on the side of the
  • 00:10:55
    road
  • 00:10:57
    in a quiet moment counseling and
  • 00:11:02
    somebody to work with letting your
  • 00:11:08
    daughters know you love them you know
  • 00:11:14
    it's president I knew I could always
  • 00:11:15
    count on Elijah being honorable and
  • 00:11:19
    doing the right thing
  • 00:11:22
    and people have talked about his voice
  • 00:11:24
    there is something about his voice that
  • 00:11:26
    just made you feel better
  • 00:11:29
    you know there's some people they you
  • 00:11:31
    have that deep baritone a prophetic
  • 00:11:34
    voice and when it was good times and we
  • 00:11:39
    achieved victories together that boys
  • 00:11:42
    and that laugh was a gift but you needed
  • 00:11:47
    it more during the tough times when the
  • 00:11:51
    path ahead looked crooked when obstacles
  • 00:11:56
    abounded when I entertained doubts or I
  • 00:12:04
    saw those who were in the fight start to
  • 00:12:08
    waver
  • 00:12:10
    that's one Elijah's voice mattered most
  • 00:12:14
    and more than once during my presidency
  • 00:12:18
    when the economy still looked like it
  • 00:12:21
    might plunge into depression when the
  • 00:12:26
    health care bill was pronounced dead in
  • 00:12:28
    Congress I would watch Elijah rally his
  • 00:12:36
    comments the cost of doing nothing is
  • 00:12:41
    nothing he would say and folks would
  • 00:12:44
    remember why they entered into public
  • 00:12:46
    service our children are the living
  • 00:12:51
    messengers we send to a future we will
  • 00:12:53
    never see he would say and he would
  • 00:12:55
    remind all of us that our time is too
  • 00:12:58
    short not to fight for what's good and
  • 00:13:01
    what is true and what is best in America
  • 00:13:05
    [Applause]
  • 00:13:09
    two hundred years two three hundred
  • 00:13:13
    years from now he would say people will
  • 00:13:15
    look back at this moment and they will
  • 00:13:17
    ask the question what did you do and
  • 00:13:21
    hearing him we would be reminded that it
  • 00:13:24
    falls upon each of us to give voice to
  • 00:13:28
    the voices and comfort to the sick an
  • 00:13:32
    opportunity to those not born to it and
  • 00:13:36
    to preserve and nurture our democracy
  • 00:13:45
    Elijah Cummings was a man of noble and
  • 00:13:51
    good heart his parents and his faith
  • 00:13:58
    planted the seeds of hope and love and
  • 00:14:04
    compassion and righteousness in that
  • 00:14:09
    good soil of his his harvested all the
  • 00:14:16
    crop that he could but the Lord is now
  • 00:14:20
    called Elijah home to give his humble
  • 00:14:24
    faithful servant rest and it now falls
  • 00:14:29
    on us to continue his work so that other
  • 00:14:32
    young boys and girls in Baltimore across
  • 00:14:38
    Maryland across the United States and

    around the world
  • 00:14:42
    my to have a chance to grow and to
  • 00:14:47
    flourish that's how we will honor him
  • 00:14:52

  • 00:14:56
    what he would hope for may God bless the
  • 00:15:00
