I am excited for another opportunity to celebrate this month and to share experiences with you all. Over the years, in the spirit of Black History month, we have celebrated African American individuals that have greatly impacted our communities and also talked about the importance of celebrating Black History Month. Last year’s article talked about why representation matters and why it is important for us to tell our own story. This year, I would like to expand upon one of the ideas initially touched upon in last year’s article and explore its impact on all of our futures.
Technology Tuesday: Black History Month
t’s February and you know what that means… BLACK HISTORY MONTH!
Or, as some in our line of work have coined the phrase, Black-Green History Month. This year I would like to honor Carl Anthony.
Carl Anthony is an architect, author, urban/suburban/regional design strategist, and environmental justice activist that has made major strides in aligning the relationship between socioeconomic issues and environmental concerns. While these things often go hand-in-hand, rarely had advocates for each had dialogue about them together and their effects on each other prior to Carl Anthony’s work.
