Listen to the beauty
This sketch in no way depicts the beauty of Majora Carter, the African-American environmental justice advocate and economic consultant from the Bronx. I think you have to see her move and speak to get the full impact. This morning I visited the “Democracy Now!” show for the first time in a while and was fortunate enough to catch part of a speech she made at a TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) Conference in Las Vegas in 2006. I laughed, I cried, I marvelled at her speaking skills.
“Newsweek” has named her one of “25 To watch” and one of the “century’s most important environmentalists”. You can still catch the speech on the “Democracy Now!” website. Check her out!
