Remembering U.S. Representative Parren J. Mitchell

In 1971, Parren James Mitchell, a civil rights warrior, ex-chair of a key House committee, and a fierce advocate of minority business, took his belief that minorities matter to the House, where he served until 1987. During his tenure, he co-founded the Congressional Black Caucus and served on the Banking, Finance and Urban Affairs Committee. Under him, the latter body was as a bulwark protecting the interests of minority-owned businesses.
