Former New York Rep. Charles Rangel, a founding member of the Congressional Black Caucus who spent more than four decades in the House, has died, according to WABC. He was 94 years old.

Rangel served in the House from 1971 until 2017. After leaving Congress, Rangel served as statesman-in-residence at The City College of New York, its website said.

“Rangel was a war hero, history-making congressman, and master lawmaker,” the college wrote in an obit for Rangel, later adding that he was “recognized as one of the hardest working legislators in Congress.”
