Race, Class and the Environmental Movement

Jan. 15, 2010 - PRLog -- BIG: Blacks in Green™ in partnership with The Civic Knowledge Project, The Applied Research Center, UCAN, the Neighborhood Writing Alliance, the Center for the Study of Race, Politics, and Culture at the University of Chicago, and the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs at the University of Chicago present a discussion on race, class and the environmental movement.

Is "race" for real? Is "class" a state of mind? Is our environmental movement free from segregation along these lines? Candid conversation, stimulating ideas, engaging practices, and take-away tools! Let's heal, honor, educate, and be free!
