Civil Rights and Wrongs for April 20, 2021

We celebrate Earth Day this Tuesday with two local leaders in environmental justice.  First we’ll hear from Karen Magid, faculty member and Director of Sustainability & STEM for Huston-Tillotson University in their Center for Sustainability and Environmental Justice.  She is an advisor for the environmental student group Green is the New Black, and helped found the environmental justice forum Building Green Justice.  Karen is also co-director for the Dumpster Project, and a board member for Earth Day Austin.  In the second half we’ll speak with Luke Metzger, Executive Director of Environment Texas whose mission is to transform the power of our imaginations and our ideas into change that makes our world a greener and healthier place for all.  We also have Jim Harrington, retired founder of the Texas Civil Rights Project.  And Michelle Manning-Scott joins us as well.
