He was 94.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Born in Harlem, Rangel was a member of the House of Representatives for 46 years. He was a Korean War veteran and a founding member of the Congressional Black Caucus.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A towering figure in American politics and a champion for justice, equity, and opportunity, Congressman Rangel dedicated over four decades of his life to public service,&#8221; the Rangel family said in a statement announcing his death Monday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There are many who will attempt to imitate, but the great Charlie Rangel will never be replicated,&#8221; House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said in a statement. &#8220;Whether in the United States Army, the federal courtroom, the halls of Congress or the streets of Harlem, Congressman Rangel led a life of public service that is second to none. The prayers of a grateful nation are with his family and the legions who loved this iconic leader. May Charles B. Rangel forever Rest in Power.&#8221;\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>The last of Harlem&#8217;s &#8220;Gang of Four&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>Rangel was the last of the so-called &#8220;Lions of Harlem,&#8221; or the &#8220;Gang of Four,&#8221; with Basil Paterson, Percy Sutton, Herman Denny Farrell and former Mayor David Dinkins. The &#8220;Lions&#8221; were known as the first to break down race and class barriers, cutting paths for others to follow.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Prior to his election to Congress in 1970, Rangel earned a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star for leading a group of soldiers out of a deadly Chinese army encirclement during the Battle of Konu-ri.<\/p>\n<p>He went on to become the first Black chair of the House&#8217;s influential Ways and Means Committee. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Charlie was an inspiration and embodied the truest form of leadership in public service, steadied in his faith and faithfulness in the American people, and a giant unmatched in his leadership, compassion, and commitment to upholding the values of our nation. I will miss him dearly,&#8221; Congressman Adriano Espaillat, who became NY-13&#8217;s representative after Rangel retired in 2017, said in a statement posted to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/RepEspaillat\/status\/1927007101001335235\/photo\/1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">social media<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Rangel was also influential in the creation of the Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone Development Corporation that helped change the economic face of Harlem.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>This is breaking news.
