The mass, held on the historic St. Patrick’s Cathedral, got here a day after Rangel’s physique lay in state at New York Metropolis Corridor, an honor bestowed to solely a handful of political figures, together with U.S. presidents Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant.

Clinton, who known as Rangel one of the vital efficient members to ever serve in Congress, recalled the congressman’s insistence on steering a essential financial program to his Harlem district when Clinton was president, serving to to decrease unemployment there.

“I don’t think I ever knew a happier warrior than Charlie Rangel,” Clinton mentioned.

Rangel served in Congress for practically 5 many years, changing into a dean of the New York congressional delegation and a founding member of the Congressional Black Caucus, in addition to being the primary first African American to chair the highly effective Methods and Means Committee. Earlier than his time on Capitol Hill, he earned a Purple Coronary heart and a Bronze Star for his army service within the Korean Conflict.

Jeffries, the Home Democratic Chief, instructed the group on the mass that “America is better off today because of his service” and mentioned, as a younger congressman, that the legendary Rangel would merely name him Jeff.

“Now, Charlie Rangel would often call me Jeff. I believe it was short for Jeffries. But I never confirmed that. ‘Cause this was Charlie Rangel, and so you go with the flow,” Jeffries mentioned, smiling.

Hochul known as Rangel “a giant in American life” and mentioned she would transfer to rename a road in Harlem after the late congressman, who was typically known as “Lion of Lenox Avenue.” She thanked the attendees who got here to the mass “not to mourn Charlie, but to celebrate an extraordinary life.”
