VIRTUAL: Environmental Justice: Exploring Race, Place & Spirituality (MLK 2022 at the Peabody Museum)

How we foster community and make spaces for it to thrive are critical to our efforts toward environmental justice. Leaders of this movement, from freedom fighters like Dr. King to today’s revolutionaries, understand that place—both physical and spiritual—must be created and protected to do the work of racial and environmental justice.
