We are all environmentalists (even if we don’t know it)
Tuesday, April 19th, 2016
Dr. K. Animashaun Ducre (left), a professor at SU, introduced environmental justice advocate Robert Bullard, Ph.D. at a recent John L. Johnson lecture.
The first rule of environmental justice, according to Dr. Robert Bullard (considered the father of the movement), is that people must speak for themselves and those who are most impacted must be inside the room.
He was one of the organizers of the First National People of Color Environmental Leadership Summit in 1991.
Bullard’s lecture, which was sponsored by the Department of African American Studies and given about 1 week before Earth Day, attempted to connect the dots of pollution between Flint, MI and historical examples in Warren County NC, Whispering Pines (Houston, Tx) and Moosville, LA.
His detailed analysis showed how we often talk “green,” but still act “dirty” when it comes to environmental justice in certain locales.

On his birthday yesterday, Joe Driscoll (above) got to perform for about 5,000 people at the OnCenter. He also opened for Sen. Bernie Sanders, who was in town for a campaign stop. We found out Driscoll helped coordinate the campaign event. We knew he was a master of the live loop sample and the beatbox, we had know idea Driscoll was also an effective political organizer.

Tuesday, April 12th, 2016Actor Rosario Dawson gave a fiery, sophisticated, and informed speech before introducing Bernie Sanders in Syracuse today. Can a run for office be on the horizon, or at least a speaking slot during the Democratic Convention in Philly.
