    Rep. Julia Carson passed away today at the age of 69. She announced in November that she was suffering from terminal lung cancer and didn’t plan to seek re-election. She’s been away from the House since September after visiting a doctor.

    Carson was the first African American and the first woman elected to represent Indianapolis, Indiana in Congress. She was known as an outspoken critic of the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

    Rest in peace, Julia.
