Vince Leggett is the founder of the Blacks of the Chesapeake Bay, which works to share the legacy of African American achievement in the Bay's seafood and maritime industries and foster environmental stewardship. (Photo by Will Parson/Chesapeake Bay Program)
Knew of Mr. Leggett when he attended a Baltimore city public high school in Northeast area called Northern High School. Never knew during the " Black Power" days that Vincent had a connection to the land and the idea of ownership.
Greetings,
I am interested in the purchase of Mr. Leggits 2 books on the Chesapeake.
I am an avid fisherwoman and love the Bay.
Very good story.lots of history for me . always good to know what our blacks have done in the past which will always be a part of history.pround to see that a young man and his family is keeping I'll alive about the bay.we Wii remain in history books as great and proud black people because of you and your family. Be blessed.
Much wisdom & empirical knowledge from the school of a life well ived & shared w/others.
Mr. Leggett works regularly as a substitute at my school Mary Moss @ J. Albert Adams Academy. He is a wealth of knowledge and role model for our students. We are blessed he chooses to come to our school and share with our staff and students.
What a great and interesting read.
Vince Leggett has a rich heritage to share. So glad that he is successfully spreading his passion for the protection and preservation of the Chesapeake Bay and the watermen and women who have, throughout the years, appreciated and protected this environmental treasure.
Important historical and inspirational stories to share with our youth.
You can find an audio podcast containing remarks by Mr. Leggett and other distinguished guests from an October 2018 event held at The Seafarers YC in Annapolis, at http://theescapepods.com/?p=671
