EditorialRep. Alcee Hastings (D-Fla.) greets an acquaintance before start of ceremony presenting then President Nelson Mandela of South Africa, with the Congressional Gold Medal, at the Capitol in Washington on Sept. 23, 1998. Hastings, a former federal judge who, despite being impeached and removed from the bench, was elected to Congress, where he championed civil rights and rose to become dean of the Florida delegation, died on Tuesday, April 6, 2021. He was 84. Lale Morrison, his chief of staff, confirmed the death. He provided no other details. Hastings had announced in early 2019 that he had pancreatic cancer. He continued to make public appearances for a time but was unable to travel to Washington in January to take the oath of office. A strong liberal voice, Rep. Hastings was a pioneering civil rights lawyer in the 1960s and ’70s in Fort Lauderdale, which at the time was deeply inhospitable to Black people. Throughout his career, he crusaded against racial injustice and spoke up for gay people, immigrants, women and the elderly, as well as advocating better access to health care and higher wages. He was also a champion of Israel. (Paul Hosefros/The New York Times)
