The Center for Brooklyn History at the Brooklyn Public Library will host a three-part series beginning June 4, addressing the intersections of environmental harm, race, and class. The series aims to highlight why marginalized communities face greater exposure to environmental hazards and examines the impact of recent policy changes. It will include discussions moderated by Vann R. Newkirk II, featuring experts like Dr. Robert D. Bullard and Marianne Engelman-Lado, focusing on historical context, current challenges, and potential solutions for building a more equitable environment.
The series will explore how systemic inequality shapes environmental outcomes and how climate change continues to threaten the most vulnerable communities.
Each event will feature leading voices in environmental justice, offering historical context, current challenges, and solutions for tomorrow.
