Monday we learned about a lady named Majora Carter. She has a wonderful husband. She is from the south Bronx in New York. In the 1940's her parents were part of the migration from the South into the Bronx. She talked about the white flight and Robert Moses. Robert Moses made highways and destroyed communities.
One day she took a run with her dog. Her dog dragged her to what she thought was a dump. Behind the dump was a river. She then started to organize her community and changed the dump to a 3 million dollar park.
More to come....
