River Days of Action Lunch and Learn #1: Reckoning with the Environmental Movement's History for a More Equitable Future
This webinar was presented to the Mississippi River Network and our members by leading equity practitioners, The Avarna Group, who provided this webinar description:
"Conservation and environmental organizations have recently begun contending with the racial exclusion and injustice that defined their creation and much of their existence. This session explores environmental history and how it fits into the larger context of social history in the U.S.. Through a timeline of events through the early 20th century, the session will reveal that despite their intent, conservation was not a categorically benevolent force, and in fact harmed Black, Indigenous, and other communities of color across Turtle Island."
At this special River Days of Action 2023 event, we will rescreen this important and impactful webinar. While it covers the environmental movement broadly at times, emphasis and focus is placed on the geographies of the Mississippi River watershed.
Please email Michael Anderson at manderson@1mississippi.org with any questions. See you there!
