Combatting Environmental Racism

I am a big fan of the Harriet Beecher Stowe Center. It is one of my "go-to" advocacy organizations for its commitment to social justice and positive change. 

The April 21, 2016 Stowe Salon on Combatting Environmental Racism promises to be an excellent opportunity to listen to and talk directly with Hartford community leaders who are actively addressing environmental racism.

Join the conversation with Rev. Kari Nicewander, Immanuel Congregational Church, Pastor Steve Camp, Faith Congregational Church and Sharon Lewis, Coalition for Environmental Justice.

The Salon is on my schedule. I encourage you to put it on yours.

"Watkins hailed from the streets of East Baltimore during the semi-automatic era. After years of being deeply involved with the crack game and losing family and friends to it, he took a long, hard, life-changing journey that lead Watkins to earn his MA in Education and MFA, become a college professor, and be a voice for millions through his guest appearances on the news and talk shows."

Watkins will be at the Mark Twain Museum Center Tuesday, March 15, 2016, for An Evening with D. Watkins The event is presented in collaboration by the Harriet Beecher Stowe Center, The Mark Twain House & Museum, and Community Partners in Action. John Dankosky of WNPR will moderate.
