Emanuel Cleaver, Congressional Black Caucus Chairman (Missouri) - “Donald Payne was my friend and my inspiration because he struggled with this ailment for a long time and he handled it in what in my tradition is saintly.

Nov. 6:  Election Day - All political roads lead to Nov. 6.  Much of the political posturing, debating, campaigning and mudslinging will come to a head as voters from all across the country perform their civic duty at the ballot box. But while the presidential election may be the main event, don’t forget about other elections in the House, 33 seats in the Senate, 11 gubernatorial races and many state legislature contests that are also taking place on this day. The Black vote will be key — Black voters are credited with helping secure several Democratic victories in 2008, including the election of America’s first Black president. (Photos: Getty Images; Chris McGrath/Getty Images)
