Clyburn | C000537 | clyburn.house.gov | clyburn | https://clyburn.house.gov/press-releases/ | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Congressman James Clyburn (S.C.-06) released the following statement on the passing of the first Black U.S. Secretary of Labor, Alexis Herman. “I extend my heartfelt condolences to the family of Secretary Alexis Herman. “I grew to know, admire, and respect Secretary Herman and partnered with her on many occasions to expand opportunity in the workforce. As the first Black Secretary of Labor, she was a pioneering leader, a visionary, and faithful public servant. A daughter of Mobile, Alabama, Secretary Herman was no stranger to the afflictions of Jim Crow. The fight for civil rights was core to her mission in advocating for an America where all men and women can succeed. She worked to desegregate schools and pushed to ensure women, those of modest means, and working families had every opportunity they could. “Secretary Herman’s legacy will endure for years to come and I will cherish her friendship.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T00:33:40Z |
