“The righteous fight in the end will win. Don’t be swayed by all of the noise.”
Today we’re re-airing our conversation with Dr. Beverly Wright, who joined the Agents of Change in Environmental Justice podcast last year to discuss her journey as an environmental justice pioneer.
This episode originally aired in June 2023 and we are re-airing it today to celebrate Juneteenth, as Dr. Wright’s work on justice and equity speaks to the spirit of the holiday and what it represents. We will be back in two weeks with a new episode.
The Agents of Change in Environmental Justice podcast is a biweekly podcast featuring the stories and big ideas from past and present fellows, as well as others in the field. You can see all of the past episodes here.
Listen below to our discussion with Wright, and subscribe to the podcast at iTunes, Spotify, or Stitcher.
The formerly enslaved African Americans who celebrated the first Juneteenth have much to teach us about living within, surviving, and overcoming the ills of an extractive economy that depletes and commodifies our human and natural resources.
