WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Congresswoman Joyce Beatty (OH-03) released the following statement on the passing of Amos Lynch, a Columbus community leader and founder of news publications:

"Amos Lynch fondly referred to as "Columbus' Godfather" was a great community leader, entrepreneur, and media visionary whose life and works had a deep and profound impact on our community. The publications he spearheaded and the journalism he inspired continue to inform and engage our communities on the critical issues of our time both in Columbus, Ohio and across the nation. The community will always remember his leadership, energy, and passion. His legacy continues through the largest MLK breakfast in the nation and in Black print media. My deepest condolences go out to his family and our community."
