Reminder: NY Rep.. Adam Clayton Powell Jr. proposed barring federal funding for racially discriminatory projects. For years! He was laughed at, ignored, and once punched in the face. But, 60 years ago today, the Powell Amendment became Title VI of the Civil Rights Act! #NamingGotham #civilrights #justice #resist #persist #prevail #history #harlem #NYC #historymatters (photo courtesy of my dad who traveled around New York City with me to take photos for Naming Gotham)

🌿 Putting the planet first benefits us all in the long run. With Rebecca Bratspies, an esteemed environmental justice lawyer, we discussed the nitty-gritty of things, including where to find funds for lawsuits. "What we need is a world where we have both environmental protection and jobs, not this false choice between the two." "If every pound of ammonia that came out of your smokestack was seen as a negative for your bottom line, we would see incredible innovation in green management and production." All this and more in the final episode of this series.
