The talk will focus on issues of environmental justice and the higher environmental burdens placed upon poor, frequently minority, communities. In 2005, Jerome Ringo became the Chair of the National Wildlife Federation and the first African-American to head a major conservation organization. Despite a long history of employment within the oil industry, Mr. Ringo has also become a strong advocate of clean energy. He offers a unique perspective on the environmental movement, and its relationship to marginalized communities.

Hunter Lundy is a famous "toxic torts" lawyer, who has fought and won millions on behalf of people whose health and homes have been impacted by toxic chemicals. His work is primarily focused in Mississippi and Louisiana. Lundy offers great litigation “war stories” as well as insights on working directly with poor, environmentally burdened communities.
