Robert Boxie III has been consecrated as Auxiliary Bishop of Washington, becoming the youngest Catholic prelate in the U.S. and the entire Western Hemisphere.

The 45-year-old former Howard University chaplain is the first new African-American Catholic bishop in nearly a decade.

[Doug Jones @DougJones]

In 1965, an Alabama State Trooper shot and killed Jimmie Lee Jackson during a protest in Marion, AL. He was unarmed and the protesters were peaceful. His death led to the Selma to Montgomery march for voting rights and ultimately the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. 61 years later Alabama continues to be ground zero for voting rights in America. Last week, I had the honor of being with Jimmie Lee’s sister Emma to thank her and her family for their sacrifice.
