RICHMOND, Va. – Virginia, a state long associated with racist and segregationist behavior, is now only a signature away from becoming the first state in the South to declare racism a public health crisis.
The Virginia State Senate on Tuesday, on a voice vote, approved the declaration and sent it on to the desk of Gov. Ralph Northam, who is expected to sign it.
Sponsored by Del. Lashrecse D. Aird, D-Petersburg, the resolution previously passed the House of Delegates on an almost-straight party vote, with Republican Del. Carrie E. Coyner of Chesterfield County aligning with House Democrats to back it.
