Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Missouri's 5th district, has recently shared a series of tweets highlighting significant events and recognitions. His posts reflect on fraternity celebrations, legislative achievements, and historical commemorations.

On December 4, 2024, Rep. Cleaver extended his greetings to his fraternity brothers by tweeting: "Happy Founders' Day to all my @apa1906NETwork brothers! As we celebrate 118 years of brotherhood, let us continue to leave a legacy of Manly Deeds, Scholarship, and Love for All Mankind!"

The following day on December 5, he announced receiving an award by posting: "As I continue to push for federal investments that will lower costs and expand access to quality care, I’m honored to receive the @amerambassoc’s Legislative Recognition Award for my work to support emergency medical services! I'll keep fighting to #ProtectOurCare"

Later that same day, Rep. Cleaver reflected on a pivotal moment in civil rights history with another tweet: "Rosa Parks’ brave refusal to give up her seat in December 1955 sparked 13 months of peaceful protests. The Montgomery Bus Boycott remains one of the foundational events of the Civil Rights Movement. Today, we honor her legacy by recommitting to the pursuit of justice for all."
