I was saddened to learn of the passing of my friend and law school classmate, Henry L. Marsh III.

Henry’s contribution, as a lawyer and elected official, to eradicating many of the segregationist acts of the past is recognized and appreciated by all who value freedom.

He epitomized what historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) can produce by matriculating at Virginia Union and Howard Universities.

His becoming the first African American Mayor of the City of Richmond enabled the enactment of many laws and regulations that moved our Capital City to national recognition and prominence.

I extend my condolences to his family and friends and know he will always be remembered.
