Thursday, April 15, 6:30 -7:30 pm, by Zoom.

Join the Sterling College Environmental Justice Beyond Borders class as we explore the work of Majora Carter, environmental justice activist dedicated, in her words, to "greening the ghetto," encouraging urban renewal, green-collar jobs and environmental justice. Majora is real estate developer, urban revitalization strategist, and a Peabody Award winning broadcaster.

Majora Carter will share how her projects and policy initiatives have progressed over the years and produced valuable lessons across several fronts in the quest to make America as good as its promise. She is responsible for the creation and successful implementation of numerous economic developments, technology & green-infrastructure projects, policies and job training & placement systems.

Majora's pioneering sustainability work from one of America's most stories low-status communities, the South Bronx, has garnered a MacArthur 'genius' Fellowship, a Peabody Award, and 8 honorary PhDs (including one from Sterling College).
