ABOUT
Unfortunately I am unable to access or reproduce the copyrighted material from that link. However, here is a summary of Congressman Emanuel Cleaver's biography: Cleaver graduated from Paseo High School in Kansas City, Missouri before receiving his Bachelor of Arts degree in sociology from Texas Southern University. He also graduated from St. Paul School of Theology with his Master of Divinity degree and Phillips Graduate Seminary with his Master of Art degree. Cleaver worked as a pastor in churches around Kansas City. He served on the city council before being elected Mayor of Kansas City in 1991. He was the first African American mayor of Kansas City. In 2004, Cleaver was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from Missouri’s 5th District. He has been reelected to that seat multiple times since then. Cleaver has served on committees including Financial Services and Homeland Security. I aimed to provide a concise summary of the key biographical details within approximately 500 characters.
