The National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE) Mourns the Death of Former U.S. President George H.W. Bush

   

[Alexandria, VA] The National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE) remembers and honors the courageous life of the 41st President of the United States, George Herbert Walker Bush, who passed away at the age of 94. President Bush's noble, gentle, and selfless spirit will forever be revered by many regardless of their political affiliations.

  

As a Texas Congressman, Mr. Bush supported the 1968 Fair Housing Act that made it illegal to discriminate against African Americans trying to rent or purchase a home. On July 26, 1990, U.S. President George H.W. Bush passed the Americans with Disabilities Act. This law prohibits discrimination of those with physical and intellectual disabilities. This act is one of President Bush's most important and influential pieces of legislation during his presidency. Mr. Bush served the United States not only in the Oval Office, but in battle as a World War II combat pilot.

In 1988, then Vice President Bush honored NOBLE by being a keynote speaker at its Annual Training Conference in New York, NY.

  

The 41st President lived where the ceiling and visibility of life were unlimited, reminding us all to as he once said, "Be bold in your caring, be bold in your dreaming and above all else, always do your best."

  

We thank Mr. Bush for his service to our country and offer our deepest condolences to the Bush family.

  

-NOBLE President Vera Bumpers
