- Meet trailblazer Hazel M. Johnson – also known as the Mother of the Environmental Justice Movement. Climate justice is racial justice. As we unlearn and relearn about the environmental movement, this is one key figure we should all remember. In 1979, Hazel discovered that the Chicago public housing project she lived in was built on a toxic landfill, causing high cancer rates & respiratory illness. In response, she founded People for Community Recovery. #BlackLivesMatter #SHEro
- #LISTEN and #SHARE our latest podcast about impacting humanity with Michael Charles.
