Research leading to a book on racial inclusion and racial justice in the early environmental movement.

Green But Not Black or Brown is the first comprehensive history to fully excavate the 1970s origins of the modern environmental movement's persistent and ongoing diversity problems, as well as how and why those failings contributed to the 1980s emergence of the grassroots environmental justice movement led by communities of color.
