Post office branch renamed in tribute to pioneering delegate

A large crowd gathered at the Enoch Pratt Library on Thursday to rename a U.S. post office branch for the nearly 100-year-old former Maryland state Del. Lena Lee. Rep. Elijah Cummings called Lee “inspiration to us all.”

“Her rare devotion aided her in making momentous contributions to the State of Maryland,” said Cummings, who presided over the dedication. “She has changed all our lives for the better,” he said.
