counties. Payne was a member of House committees on education and
foreign affairs. He also had served as chairman of the House
subcommittee on Africa, and had traveled many times to thecontinent on
foreign affairs matters. During an April 2009, mortar shells were

civilians were injured in residential areas. Payne had met with
Somalia's president and prime minister during his one-day visit to
Mogadishu to discuss piracy, security and cooperation between Somalia
and the United States. Payne had been chairman of the Congressional
Black Caucus and a congressional delegate to the United Nations. He
also was a member of the Newark City Council from 1982 until 1988 and
was a teacher in Newark for 15 years. He also served as president of
the national YMCA. He earned a bachelor's degree from Seton Hall
University in 1957. He was remembered by his Congressional colleagues
for his work on human rights and on behalf of the poor."Congressman
Payne spoke out on behalf of suffering people in some of the most
difficult situations around the world: from Rwanda to Sudan to the
peace proces s in Northern Ireland," said House Minority Leader Nancy
Pelosi, D-Calif. New Jersey Rep. Bill Pascrell, Jr., whose district to
the north of Newark bordered Payne's, called him a"champion for
education and civil rights who sought to combat injustice all over the
world." Payne was a widower with three children and four
grandchildren. His son, DonaldPayne Jr., is a Newark city councilman.
