DEARBORN, MI - Today, Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (MI-12) released the following statement remembering former Michigan Congresswoman Barbara-Rose Collins:
“From a seat on the Detroit Board of Education to walking the halls of the United States Congress, Barbara-Rose Collins was a force in public service and an inspiration to many. As the first Black woman from Michigan elected to the United States Congress, she taught people that with passion and a lot of hard work, you could make a real difference and lift up the voices of those who matter most. My heart is with her family and friends as they navigate this difficult time.”
