Maryland LCV Statement on the Passing of Vince Leggett, Founder and President of Blacks of the Chesapeake Foundation

“The environmental community has lost a true champion with the passing of Vince Leggett.  Vince was a leader, connector, and tireless advocate for the Chesapeake Bay. Through his organization, Blacks of the Chesapeake Foundation, and the many roles he filled, Vince continually challenged all of us to ensure the Bay’s documented history is inclusive and that we commit to equity as we work to ensure a healthy Chesapeake Bay watershed for future generations.  We will miss his generous spirit and vitality.”
