Remembers Congressman John Conyers
[Alexandria, VA] Today, Cerelyn J. Davis, President of the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE), released the following statement concerning the passing of U.S. Representative John James Conyers Jr.

"The National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE) mourns the passing of our friend, former U.S. Representative John Conyers (D-MI). He was a founding member of the Congressional Black Caucus and an early and ardent supporter of the national holiday honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Most importantly, Conyers, the longest serving African American member of Congress in U.S. history, was a champion for civil and human rights. A steadfast supporter and partner to NOBLE, he received NOBLE's Civil Rights Outstanding Leadership Justice by Action Award in 2016. His service remains a guiding beacon for us. Our thoughts are with his family."
