The city of Baltimore will formally name a courthouse after the late U.S. Rep. Elijah Cummings in the first half of 2020.
Mayor Bernard C. Jack Young on Friday unveiled the renderings of the bronze plaques that will be affixed to the building's exterior. One includes an image and biography of the congressman, and the other reads Elijah E. Cummings Courthouse.
The powerful Democratic congressman and civil rights champion died Oct. 17 at age 68 of complications from longstanding health issues. He had represented Maryland's 7th Congressional District, which encompasses a large portion of Baltimore, since 1996.
Cummings graduated from the University of Maryland School of Law and practiced in Baltimore.
Elijah was a son of Baltimore. He was proud of Baltimore, his widow, Maya Rockeymoore Cummings, said during the unveiling ceremony. His career as a legal professional started in this courthouse.

You are not alone
Wow! Who would have thought? A courthouse named “Integrity-Free Angry Racist Criminal Fool”. Will wonders ever cease???
An outhouse should be named after Cummings... especially if it’s clogged and overflowing.
The SPOKESMAN for the CRIMINAL STATE should have his name over an OUTHOUSE.
Funny but so True
This is the fate that awaits those who reject Christ.
Cummings was a hateful, violent, absolutely corrupt, hypocritical, liar.
Best thing about Cummings was his goings. That doesn’t require a court house. As some one noted, an out house would do.
Milk Dud Court House ?
What a disgrace.
Well I never like to venture to guess what God has decided upon anyone’s soul, but I’d wager you’re correct.
There’s always that SO SMALL chance that at the last minute he begged forgiveness but barring that, yeah he was in a lot of trouble when he died.
His hatred of Trump showed him at his most horrifying.
They’re going to name it the “Crooked Courthouse”
Agreed. Thanks for being a caring soul dp.
Well I almost hope he didn’t LOL.
It’s hard to think in ways of Heaven being a human. It seems unfair that he can cause a lifetime of pain and agony for people and then get to Heaven on the basis of a feeling sorrow at the last minute.
Perhaps there’s times when that last moment of asking forgiveness isn’t enough. I don’t know. I am glad I don’t have God’s job :-)
By rejecting God, and his Son Jesus Christ, they choose their own fate.
And the Book of Romans says we all know God, and that have no excuse.
It sort of puts to rest all of the hyperventilated rhetoric.
In the City of Voldemort.
