SUMMARY:Honoring African American Environmental Pioneers
DESCRIPTION:Studies indicate people of color are more attuned to environmental issues than their white counterparts\, but often don’t get credit for their efforts. To correct this\, five Milwaukee organizations are joining to co-sponsor a February event Honoring African American Environmental Pioneers. Ten honorees have been selected. \nThe event will begin with a social hour from 5:30 to 6:30 with food and beverages. Drummers from Ko-Thi African Dance Company will perform a “Call to Ceremony” to begin the 6:30 program.\nBrenda Coley of Milwaukee Water Commons will be the featured speaker. Event Chair\, Yvonne McCaskill will lead the award presentation. The program will also include student poets/spoken word artists\, a short video and percussion by Jahmes Finlayson. \n
