I met Harris in 1999, when I invited him to be a featured guest at an event I was organizing at the Harlem YMCA. “Of course I will come,” he said at the time. “It would be my honor.” Gracious, humble, accommodating-three attributes I came to know as integral parts of his character.
Sad
Another Leftist won’t be joining us forever.
