Learn about the history of environmental racism in the United States and how the Environmental Justice Movement was born from Dr. Robert Bullard, often described as the father of environmental justice!

Dr. Bullard will give a presentation and then join our expert panel that includes Queen Quet, Chieftess of the Gullah/Geechee Nation (www.QueenQuet.com) for a discussion moderated by Rev. Michael Malcom. We will take live audience question throughout the panel.

ROBERT BULLARD is an award-winning author of eighteen books that address sustainable development, environmental racism, urban land use, industrial facility siting, community reinvestment, housing, transportation, climate justice, disasters, emergency response, and community resilience, smart growth, and regional equity. He is co-founder of the HBCU Climate Change Consortium. In 2018, the Global Climate Action Summit named Dr. Bullard one of 22 Climate Trailblazers. And in 2019, Apolitical named him one of the world’s 100 Most Influential People in Climate Policy, Washington State University honored him with the William Julius Wilson Award for the Advancement of Justice and Climate One named him the Stephen H.
