Virginia Fields’ retirement plan: Being a voice for civic engagement
After a long career in public service and social work, C. Virginia Fields has officially announced her retirement as CEO of Black Health, a health advocacy nonprofit also known as the National Black Leadership Commission on Health. In an interview with City & State, Fields discussed the way that her upbringing in segregated Birmingham Alabama, her early political involvement as a young woman marching with Martin Luther King and the many stages of her career in social work and public service are all connected. Although she is retiring, Fields said she remains committed to using her voice to fight for social justice, civil rights and political issues, but she also hopes to spend some time traveling.
