    Down-to-Earth Trailblazer

    By TMoon  |  Posted August 21, 2008  |  Atlanta, Georgia
     

    During the summer of 2000, I had the distinct honor of serving as an intern in Tubbs-Jones' Capitol Hill office.  Ms. Tubbs-Jones was a ball of energy and I admired her integrity and down-to-earth character.  It was a blessing to be in the presence of such an amazing woman who served as a trailblazer among the African American community and America.  As an African American woman, she was a model of a powerful yet modest leader.  On a regular basis, you could find her mingling around Cleveland at community events such as the Ohio Football Classic.  Such a sweet spirit who will be missed.  The legacy and work of Tubbs-Jones must continue in Cleveland, Congress and beyond!
