Washington, D.C. - Congressman Cedric Richmond (LA-02) released the following statement after learning of the loss of Rev. Zebadee Bridges, Sr.:
“I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Rev. Zebadee Bridges, Sr. During his forty-five years of service as the pastor of The Asia Baptist Church and as a member of the Mayor’s Human Relations Committee, Reverend Bridges was a courageous leader and fierce advocate for all that was just and right. He was a man with a big heart for service to his God, his church, and his community. My thoughts and prayers are with Reverend Bridges’ family, his former parishioners and the many New Orleanians who were touched by his commitment to the advancement of this great city and its most vulnerable residents. Reverend Bridges will continue to be revered as a leader in our community. He will be sorely missed.”
