Transcript
Milton Maltz [00:00:01] Warm, gracious, friendly, intelligent, caring, sincere. Understanding, modest. A true patriot. Who is this person? A gentleman. Or should I say a truly gentleman. Louis Stokes, a United States Congressman, Ohio's first African American elected to serve in the House of Representatives, and then appointed to the Intelligence Committee. I am personally proud and honored to have had him serve on the board of directors of the International Spy Museum, where he delivered his ideas gently, but firmly at each meeting. So let us pay tribute to Lou Stokes, my friend and a true American. I shall miss him.
