Delegate Bagby hosting virtual lecture Nov. 12 in new role as visiting prof at VUU
11/11/2021, 6 p.m.
Delegate Lamont Bagby, who has since 2015 represented a district in the House of Delegates that includes parts of Richmond and Henrico County, is serving as a visiting professor at Virginia Union University for the current academic year, the university announced on Tuesday.
As a visiting professor, he will conduct a three-part lecture series focused on criminal justice and its impact on housing and educational opportunities for African-Americans. The lectures are free and open to the public.
The first lecture will be held virtually at noon Friday, Nov. 12, and will feature three of Delegate Bagby’s colleagues in the House of Delegates who also are members of the Virginia Legislative Black Caucus that Delegate Bagby chairs. They are Delegates Jeffrey M. Bourne of Richmond, Lashrecse D. Aird of Petersburg and Marcia “Cia” S. Price of Newport News.
Delegate Aird, who has served in the House since 2016, lost her Nov. 2 bid for re-election by about 500 votes to Republican challenger Kim Taylor, a small business owner.
Delegates Bourne and Price were re-elected Nov. 2 to new two-year terms beginning January.
The lecture will be live-streamed via Zoom at https://us06web.zoom.us/j/85446782562pwd=b1V3UVBPd3ZiYnEzWEdOVlF YdXBMQT09#success
