NASA names facility in honor of Katherine Johnson
In 2016, the book and movie “Hidden Figures” made its mark on the world. The story follows Katherine Johnson, an incredibly intelligent and motivated mathematician, and her journey from the “Computer Pool” of NASA to the woman whose calculations made for groundbreaking space missions.
Thanks to her perseverance and the success of “Hidden Figures”, brilliant mathematician Katherine Johnson got a NASA facility named in her honor. Now the NASA facility is named the Katherine Johnson IV&V Facility – an incredible recognition. Previously named The Independent
Verification and Validation Facility (IV&V), the IV&V program ensures the safety and success of NASA’s highprofile missions. The history of “hidden figure” Katherine Johnson now has a dedicated spot within NASA and the recognition it deserves.
History of Katherine Johnson Born in 1918 in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, Katherine Johnson was blessed with motivating parents. In an area where education for Black people ended in eighth grade – her parents saw her mathematical talent and sent her to a high school campus. By 14 she graduated high school and by 18 she finished off her collegiate education at West Virginia State. With goals to become a research mathematician, and after Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory finally allowed for the recruitment of Black people, NASA inserted Johnson into the Computer Pool. Computer Pool In the 1950s, before computers were small enough to fit on our laps – and before they were trusted- agencies and governmental programs like NASA utilized human mathematicians, whom they called “computers.” The smallest of errors could send million-dollar shuttles off floating into space – a costly mistake they could not afford to make. That is where the Computer Pool came into play with the unbelievably complex and handwritten calculations of Black female employees. Johnson and the other talented women of the Computer Pool are the ones who figured out these calculations.

(from page 1) After a few weeks in a segregated wing, Johnson’s talent transferred her to the NASA’s Flight Research Division. With her gumption and relentless desire to push into meetings not meant for women – let alone a black woman – Johnson ended up aiding in the success of missions like John Glenn’s 1962 mission; it was on this mission he became the first American to orbit Earth. None of these firsts would be possible without Johnson. She dealt with immense difficulties, from racism around every corner to misogynistic men keeping her from important meetings. Due to these obstacles, her contributions went unnoticed for far too long. However, with the help of –“Hidden Figures” released around 50 years after Johnson’s first big helpful moment – shined a light on the work done and
the challenges faced by Johnson and the other remarkable women she worked with. Today Now, years later, “Hidden Figures” has brought Katherine Johnson the recognition she deserves. NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine said that he and NASA are thrilled to honor her in this way“as she is a true American icon who overcame incredible obstacles and inspired so many.” NASA’s program director, Gregory Blaney, furthers that sentiment by stating “it’s an honor the NASA IV&V Program’s primary facility now carries Katherine Johnson’s name […] It’s a way for us to recognize Katherine’s career and contributions not just during Black History Month, but every day, every year.”

“#IAmRichmond 911” honoree recognition
Ortoria Hymons has been selected as honoree in the #IAmRichmond911 program
As a middle-school student, Ortoria Hymons had a mentor who understood and empathized with the pressures and obstacles she faced daily. As an adult, her gratefulness for that positive influence in her life has compelled her to give back. Hymons, a Richmond Department of Emergency Communications employee since September 2005, has been selected as the March honoree in the “#IAmRichmond911” program. She started as an emergency communications officer, answering and dispatching 911 calls. Hymons is now a training unit assistant supervisor, providing professional development and training for communications officers. “We do empathize and sympathize
with the callers,” Hymons said. “Some of what they’re going through, we’ve gone through before or might even be going through now. We’ve experienced loss, and we know what it’s like. But we don’t always find out the end result of our helping. I felt like I wanted to do more.” She began working with youth by volunteering as a mentor in the Richmond Public School system, the Richmond Police Department’s Mirror Me program and at the Peter Paul Development Center. After receiving training through the Virginia Mentoring Partnership Program, she started her own organization, Youth With A Destiny.

Northam announces plans to rebuild Petersburg psychiatric hospital
Gov. Ralph Northam, Sen. Rosalyn Dance and Del. Lashrecse Aird listen to Dr. Brandi Justice during a tour of Building 95 at Central State Hospital. Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam has announced his plans to rebuild the Central State Hospital in Petersburg as part of a budget amendment. When the governor proposed his budget earlier this month, it included $16 million for seven years of planning and preparation to replace the hospital, but leaders in the General Assembly voted to ask for more money to start rebuilding
now. Northam met with staff members at the hospital Monday to announce the rebuilding plan, which includes adding 252 more beds, set to be complete within five years. "There will be 111 maximum security - we call them forensic beds and 141 acute for non-violent. We refer to them as civil beds," said Northam. The Central State Hospital was
built in 1967 and it includes about two dozen original buildings, although several are abandoned and unusable. Other lack updated features like central heating and cooling. State leaders say the hospital is outdated and overcrowded, and they’re concerned about efficiency and safety. “They wanted the plan changed and they wanted it accelerated,”
said Daniel Carey, secretary of Health and Human Resources for the commonwealth. It will take about $315 million to rebuild the hospital, and the governor plans to use bonds to pay for it. The Legislature returns for session on April 3. Northam said he will propose the budget amendment authorizing construction of the new facility.

Radio Shop meets needs of public safety on roads and waterways Interior car temperatures monitored by cell phone. Lights and sirens that shut off automatically when the vehicle is put into park. Windows that roll down when the interior gets too hot. These features might sound like science fiction, but they are just a few examples of vehicle technology currently being installed and maintained by
the Technology Division of the Richmond Department of Emergency Communications (DEC). Within the DEC’s Technology Division are two full-time and one part-time electronics technicians, overseen by an electronics technician supervisor, who specialize in meeting the unique needs of public safety officers on Richmond’s roads and waterways. The technicians work
on everything from dump trucks, roadway paint trucks, school buses and fire apparatus to police boats and motorcycles in bays at the “Radio Shop.” “When we had Bobcats in here, you would have thought the guys were in a candy store,” said D.C. Creasy, electronics technician supervisor. “The only thing we have not worked on is aircraft.”

In addition to installation and maintenance for the city of Richmond, the technicians perform work for Virginia Commonwealth University, Virginia Union University, Richmond Ambulance Authority, Richmond Metropolitan Transportation Authority and others, Creasy said. These organizations get vehicles from the manufacturer as basic models, just as an individual would order. They send these basic models to the DEC Radio Shop to add technology that turns them into specialized vehicles, such as the Fire Marshall K9 SUV, which includes detailed systems to sense and monitor the internal environment for the working dogs, and police detective cruisers, with specialized lighting. “The technology is so detailed now, we can do really crazy stuff on the computer,” Creasy said. “We get to build some really cool things. We get to make different light patterns and functions and put them where you can’t even see them. We’re pretty good at hiding stuff.” The technicians work closely with public safety leadership for input, problem-solving and approval before installation, Creasy said. In fact, the ability to solve problems is the number one skill he looks for in hiring technicians, said Creasy, who came to the Richmond DEC Radio Shop in 2015, after starting as an installer at the Chesterfield Radio Shop, and became the supervisor in 2017. Even though many government agencies have done away with their own radio shops, they are a way to lessen the impact of inflation on labor costs, Creasy said, adding that the DEC Radio Shop can perform work faster and less expensively than private companies, because of state and city contracts. Also, it is one of the few shops in Richmond that can do this type of work, Creasy said. With their ingenuity, speed and experience in electronics, mechanics and metal fabrication, he said he would put his technicians up against any others in the area.

In cities like Washington, D.C., the arrival of selfdriving vehicles has the potential to profoundly change how we get around. But whether those changes are for the better or the worse depends on the choices we make today, before these vehicles become widely available. At the Union of Concerned Scientists, I’ve been studying the possibilities and the risks of autonomous vehicles. Our new study, “Where Are Self-Driving Cars Taking Us? Pivotal Choices That Will Shape DC’s Transportation Future,” analyzes how automated vehicles may impact congestion, public transit and job access in the region by 2040, focusing on what these impacts will mean for low-income communities and communities of color. One way or another, this technology is coming. These cars are already being tested in many cities such as Phoenix and in the near future, Washington, DC.
If we do not plan and set out thoughtful policies, driverless cars could exacerbate the challenges we see in transportation today—especially for black communities. Like any other technology, what results from these vehicles will largely depend on the rules we make for using them. Without smart policies, autonomous vehicles could just mean more cars on the road, with the upside of greater access undermined by much greater congestion and exposure to unhealthy pollution, which disproportionately affects black communities. We could also see the gaps in access to jobs between wealthy communities and low-income communities get even larger. So how do we make sure these new technologies work for everyone, and don’t exacerbate problems we already face?

(from page 6) First, automated vehicles need to work in tandem with an expanded mass transportation system, not compete with it. Mass transit is more efficient and less costly than private vehiclesand must play a central role in transportation in the decades to come. According to the Pew Research Center, black communities are three times more likely to use public transit than white
communities. Automated vehicles will need to complement, not replace, public transit systems. We need to ensure that driverless cars are not used by single individuals, but instead shared by two or more passengers. Local governments could help ensure this by expanding high-occupancy vehicle lanes, charging a fee to vehicles that only have one passenger, and adapting
street design to emphasize passenger pick-up and dropoff instead of parking. Automated vehicles must be electric. Otherwise, black communities could be hit with large increases in air pollution, not to mention the increase these vehicles will cause in global warming emissions. We need to think carefully about how we will integrate automated vehicles into our daily lives. We need
to prioritize people, not vehicles, and craft strong policies to incentivize drivers and ride-sharing companies to use these vehicles in a way that reduces congestion, cuts emissions and promotes equitable access. There’s a new future of transportation around the corner—the only question is whether we’ll work today to make sure it’s a good one.

www.LEGACYnewspaper.com NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF AN APPLICATION BY VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY FOR APPROVAL TO ESTABLISH RATE SCHEDULE 24 – OUTDOOR LIGHTING SERVICE CASE NO. PUR-2019-00037
On February 27, 2019, Virginia Electric and Power Company (“Dominion” or “Company”), pursuant to § 56-234 A of the Code of Virginia and Rule 80 of the Rules of Practice and Procedure (“Rules of Practice”) of the State Corporation Commission of Virginia (“Commission”), filed with the Commission an application (“Application”) to establish a new voluntary rate schedule, designated Rate Schedule 24, to offer outdoor lighting service utilizing light emitting diode (“LED”) technology. Through its Application, Dominion also requests approval to implement Rate Schedule 24 effective April 1, 2019, on an interim basis subject to refund, until such time as the Commission has had an opportunity to act on the Application, to accommodate customers’ current and immediate need for replacement of outdoor lighting fixtures. Lastly, the Company seeks the Commission’s approval to close its existing Rate Schedule 27 – Outdoor Lighting Service to new installations upon final approval of new Rate Schedule 24. The Application states that existing Rate Schedule 27 provides only for high pressure sodium vapor (“HPS”) outdoor lighting service and that in the roughly 26 years since Rate Schedule 27 was approved, this technology has become outdated and difficult to source as lighting manufacturers have largely switched to newer LED technology. Due to the sourcing problems associated with continued provision of HPS fixtures and the anticipated benefits of utilizing LED fixtures, the Company states it is filing for approval of a new outdoor lighting rate schedule for LED lighting. The Company further states that this newer, more efficient technology is expected to provide considerable cost and energy savings to virtually all outdoor lighting customers and carries other benefits as well. As proposed, Rate Schedule 24 will be available to the same customers as existing Rate Schedule 27, including residential customers, places of worship, civil organizations, and multi-family residential applications (such as condominiums, townhouses, apartments, homeowners’ associations, residents’ associations, and residential property developers). Proposed Rate Schedule 24 will allow eligible customers to request the installation of new Company-owned LED outdoor lighting fixtures or the conversion of their existing HPS outdoor lighting to LED technology. The Company states that while LED fixtures generally entail higher up-front costs, LED technology is substantially more energy efficient than HPS technology, which will result in cost savings for virtually every customer who transitions their outdoor lighting to LED. The Company asserts that Rate Schedule 24 contains the same structural components as existing Rate Schedule 27 in that each light fixture will continue to have a generation component as well as distribution services charges and a transmission component. The Company states that Rate Schedule 24 will offer a greater variety of fixture styles to customers. As proposed, customers may choose to convert to LED lighting, in which case the Company will replace existing HPS luminaires with LED luminaires upon advance payment of a conversion charge. In the event an existing HPS outdoor lighting fixture fails, proposed Rate Schedule 24 permits the Company to replace the fixture with a comparable LED fixture, and the conversion charge would not apply. In connection with adoption of new Rate Schedule 24, the Company also requests Commission approval to close existing Rate Schedule 27 to new installations. In support of this request, the Company states that HPS fixtures are becoming increasingly difficult to acquire in a sufficient volume and at a reasonable cost. For existing customers under Rate Schedule 27, they will continue to receive outdoor lighting service under Rate Schedule 27 as long as they have functioning HPS fixtures or until they wish to convert to LED services. When existing Rate Schedule 27 customers request upgrades to LED or when their HPS fixtures fail, they will be transitioned to Rate Schedule 24. Interested persons are encouraged to review the Application and supporting documents for the details of these and other proposals. TAKE NOTICE that the Commission may adopt rates that differ from those appearing in the Company’s Application and supporting documents. The Commission entered an Order for Notice and Comment that, among other things, permitted the Company to implement voluntary Rate Schedule 24 on an interim basis, directed the Company to provide notice of its Application and provided interested persons an opportunity to comment or request a hearing on the Application. Copies of the Application and the Commission’s Order for Notice and Comment are available for public inspection during regular business hours at each of the Company’s business offices in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Copies also may be obtained by submitting a written request to counsel for Dominion, Horace P. Payne, Jr., 120 Tredegar Street, Riverside 2, Richmond, Virginia 23219. If acceptable to the requesting party, the Company may provide the documents by electronic means. Copies of these documents also shall be available for interested persons to review in the Commission’s Document Control Center, located on the first floor of the Tyler Building, 1300 East Main Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219, between the hours of 8:15 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.

Donna Brazile trying a new lane by joining Fox News
Donna Brazile says there’s no way she’s selling out and her core values will always remain intact despite her controversial decision to sign with Fox News. “I’m not changing my values. Nobody would ever make me change my values,” Brazile told NNPA Newswire in an exclusive interview. “The only thing that will change about me is my age,” she said. The former Democratic National Committee chairwoman, signed on as a contributor with the Fox News Channel on Monday, March 18.
Previously, Brazile had been a contributor for CNN and ABC News. In an op-ed article on FoxNews. com, Brazile wrote that she hoped to improve the tenor of political debate. “Will I agree with my fellow commentators at Fox News? Probably not. But I will listen,” Brazile wrote. Brazile said she would question assertions about low-income people and issues such as climate change, but would do so with “civility and respect.”
Brazile added: “I will also freely admit the weaknesses in liberal arguments and the strength in conservative positions.” Her signing with Fox comes as the network has faced growing criticism and mounting allegations of racism as hosts like Jeanine Pirro and Tucker Carlson have spewed hateful messages on air. Fox has openly been aligned with President Donald Trump and many observers have criticized the network and the president for their alleged pro-white supremacy views. Brazile, a longtime friend of the Black Press, was honored last year during Black Press Week by the NNPA when she delivered a stirring address about the “State of the Black Press in 2018” at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. The NNPA is a trade group that represents more than 200 Blackowned media companies operating in the United States. NNPA member publications reach more than 20 million readers in print and online every week. “I’ve known Donna Brazile for about 40 years and, in 2016, the Democrats couldn’t have selected a better person to lead them,” said Dr. Benjamin F. Chavis, Jr., the president and CEO of the NNPA. Brazile said that the Black Press is the “pulse of the community.” “You are carving out stories that the mainstream [media] won’t,” she said. “You’ve been at the forefront of change, even before change was in vogue. That’s why I’ve always supported the Black Press.”
Brazile said she expected criticism when she decided to sign this week with Fox News. “If I made a decision tomorrow to work for a presidential candidate, people would ask why,” Brazile said. “It reminds me of 2008 when people asked how come I’m not working for Barack Obama, that he’s a black man. Or, how come I’m not working for Hillary Clinton because she’s a woman,” she said. “I said, I’m getting old and gray, so if I choose, can I work for John McCain?” Brazile said the importance of the 2020 presidential election was a primary reason she decided to join Fox News. She said it’s of great concern that the national debate has become hostile and disrespectful. “Fox has one of the largest audiences during the evening hours and they are not just Republican voters and they’re not just Trump voters,” Brazile said. “In order to win, we have to expand the electorate and we can’t just talk to people who agree with us. We have to talk to people who may not agree with us because they don’t hear us,” she said. Brazile continued: “I hope that I’m able to come across as someone reasonable and someone people can respect and I will do my very best.” Finally, she said unlike those who wish to “stay in their lanes all of their lives,” she needed a change. “I want to try this lane [Fox News]. If I don’t like it, I’ll get out of this lane and hopefully I’ll get a job when I get out of this lane,” she said.

(from page 2) One in four Americans has multiple chronic conditions, such as high blood pressure, diabetes and depression. These conditions last for a year or more and require ongoing medical attention. That number rises to 3 in 4 Americans age 65 and older, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. As a family medicine physician in Northern Virginia, Krist observes firsthand the impact that underlying issues such as unmet social needs, unhealthy behaviors and mental health challenges can have on managing chronic conditions. He is also keenly aware of the challenges primary care physicians face in helping their patients address those issues. “As a clinician, these are the
types of things I see every day with my patients,” Krist said. He added that doctors frequently rely on medications, diagnostic tests and specialty referrals to manage chronic conditions rather than working toward resolving the underlying issues. “The current model of care is not set up to seamlessly connect physicians with resources that will help resolve their patients’ problems,” Krist said. He hopes the proposed care model will help bridge that gap. Krist, who is the co-director of community-engaged research at the VCU C. Kenneth and Dianne Wright Center for Clinical and Translational Research, will lead a research team that includes VCU investigators along with community partners and
colleagues at the University of Colorado and University of Texas Health Science Center. The research was informed by a pilot grant awarded to Krist by the Wright Center, through which he and colleagues tested a social needs screening tool that will be used for the study. For five years, the researchers, clinicians and community partners will work with patients with multiple chronic conditions from 60 primary care practices in the Richmond metropolitan region on a randomized, controlled clinical trial. The clinical trial includes developing individually tailored care plans and fostering connections between primary care practices and community resources. “We are trying to see if
addressing the root causes of poor health will do a better job of improving health than traditional medical care models,” Krist said. “It goes back to the concept that we think these root causes are critical drivers of health. Trying to address them better has much stronger potential for improving health than traditional means. “We believe this study can show doctors a new way to help their patients,” Krist said. “Instead of just giving patients more pills to control chronic disease, doctors can find the root causes of poor health. With the support of health system and community programs, doctors and patients can address these root causes to truly promote health and wellbeing.”

Local principal receives R.E.B. Award for Distinguished Educational Leadership
Pictured from left to right: School Board Chairwoman Dawn Page, 8th District; Principal Candace Veney-Chaplin, Open High School; Dr. Patrick Sapini, 5th District; Superintendent Jason Kamras; Scott Barlow, 2nd District; Principal Daniela Jacobs (R.E.B. winner), William Fox Elementary School; vice vhair Elizabeth Doerr, 1st District; Keri Treadway, William Fox Elementary School Teacher Daniela Jacobs, Principal of William Fox Elementary School, has been awarded the 2018-2019 R.E.B. Award for Distinguished Educational Leadership. The Community Foundation presents the award to four principals annually – one each from the school systems of the city of Richmond, Henrico, Chesterfield and Hanover counties. Ms. Jacobs, who was also the recipient of the 2013 R.E.B. Award for Teaching Excellence, has led William Fox Elementary School since 2005. Nominated by parents at her school, Ms. Jacobs is known throughout the community for her kind spirit, exceptional leadership skills, and generous heart. In her
nomination letter, Ms. Anisha Walker shares, “Walk into William Fox Elementary and there will be one face, in particular, standing at the top of the stairs every morning and afternoon, greeting each student and parent with a smile or a hug. That face is none other than the amazing Principal Daniela Jacobs. She makes sure William Fox Elementary is a happy place and that students start each day on a positive note. “As the parent of a 4th and 5th grader, and PTA President, I feel fortunate to send my children to William Fox Elementary where they will be under the care of such a capable, loving, encouraging and
community-focused principal.” The award recognizes principals who go beyond the day-to-day demands of their jobs to create an exceptional educational environment. The award stresses management and communication skills, and the ability to inspire, encourage and advocate for the school. It includes $7,500 for personal development and an additional $7,500 for school projects of the recipient’s choosing. “At William Fox, we have started to really think about the whole child’s wellness,” said Daniela Jacobs. “We’ve introduced yoga to our students and this year we’ve started mindfulness. With this
award, the next step is to create an outdoor space with physical fitness stations and update playground equipment.” Candace Veney-Chaplin, Principal of Open High School, was also nominated for the award and was recognized alongside Ms. Jacobs at Monday’s school board meeting. “It is a truly an honor just to be nominated for the R.E.B. award because it reflects your colleagues and the system’s admiration for the work that you do,” said Superintendent Jason Kamras. “It’s clear that both of you have made a profound and incredibly positive impact at your schools and here in Richmond.”

17-year old awarded $1.6m in scholarships and accepted into 39 colleges Jordan Nixon, a 17-year old high school senior from Atlanta, has so far received offers from 39 colleges and universities and has been awarded a whopping $1.6 million in scholarship money. She definitely has a lot of choices already but some schools are still sending her acceptance letters! “The crazy thing is, I’m still waiting on decision letters, but I was not expecting that at all,” Nixon told WBAL-TV. Nixon was hands-on with her applications as she really researched thoroughly what would best fit her. She prefers to study
international business as a major in a school with diversity so she particularly looked for schools that offer that. Her proud parents, Angelia and Arthur Nixon, described her as independent, responsible, and versatile. They said, “We’re so happy for her because she does put in a lot of due diligence into applying for these schools.” Nixon, a well-rounded student, participates in various extracurricular activities including Chick-fil-A Leader Academy and Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA).

of the captains of the varsity cheer team at Douglas County. Despite her multiple workloads, she managed to apply to over 50 schools for college. So far, she received letters from 39 schools congratulating her for being accepted. “It’s shocking, each and every time. You’re taken aback every time you open one,” Nixon said. “It really was amazing at first, and then it became, ‘When are the letters going to stop?'” her mom joked. Her high school is also proud of her. Nixon is the first student in
their school to receive the most acceptance letters. “Students like Jordan, who took advantage of being able to apply to a lot of schools through certain avenues like the Common Black App (College Black College Application), you can apply to a lot of schools with one low price for that one, and also, Common App, they can apply to up to 20 schools at one time on one app,” said Pinky Quick, the College and Career Center Specialist at Douglas County High School. She has until May 1 to decide which school to choose.

(from page 3) Through her organization, she works with Communities in Schools to mentor middle-school girls at Henderson Middle School bi-weekly, as well serving as a youth etiquette consultant and hosting her own events for youth. “I just want to offer a listening ear, words of encouragement and let them know that I want to see them succeed,” Hymons said of the youth she works with. “I am able to see a change in their attitude, once they see that you are dedicated and committed to them on your own time and want to improve their situation.” In addition to her work with DEC and Youth With A Destiny, Hymons is the mother of an active 7-yearold and working toward a degree in sociology/criminal justice and becoming a mediator for the Virginia Judicial System. Working around the clock to answer and dispatch 911 calls for the city of Richmond are about 60 emergency communications officers. Additional employees with the Richmond Department of Emergency Communications install and maintain the city's public safety communications systems. Support and administrative staff members bring the department’s total number of employees to about 100. The collective work of these staff members meets and exceeds national industry standards. In May 2019, the department expects to complete the final step to becoming accredited by Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA).
In February, the department began spotlighting one employee each month who serves the community, both on and off the job. This program, “#I Am Richmond 911,” seeks to raise awareness of the sometimes-overlooked but crucial role that emergency communications serves in helping to save lives and protect property and the environment in Richmond, as well as the contributions of its employees to the community. “It takes a unique individual with compassion and a true desire to help others to work in emergency communications,” said Stephen Willoughby, director of the Richmond Department of Emergency Communications. “Our emergency communications officers must have the necessary skills and aptitude to gather essential information from individuals on what is most likely the worst day of their lives and to manage emergency services for law enforcement, fire, and medical services so that the right assistance is provided as quickly and efficiently as possible. They would not be able to do that without the support of our technology division and administrative staff, as well. “I am proud of the work of each of the employees of the Richmond Department of Emergency Communications, and I congratulate our #I Am Richmond 911 honorees for the work they do every day to serve the citizens of Richmond and their communities.”
