On Thursday (Aug 1), community leaders, elected officials, celebrities and more gathered at Fallbrook Church to celebrate the life and works of Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee.
Vice President Kamala Harris delivered the eulogy, and attendees included President Bill Clinton, former Secretary Hillary Clinton, several members of the U.S. House and Senate, former Houston Mayor Sylvester, Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo, and performances from Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter Stevie Wonder, gospel singers Yolanda Adams, Donnie McClurkin and Pastor Shirley Caesar.
“Sheila Jackson Lee, to know her was to know a true champion, a fierce champion for justice,” Harris said. “Sheila Jackson Lee was a woman of deep faith and deep compassion. She was a beloved member of our Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, and she was a dear, dear friend to my husband Doug and me.”
