"Going Green from the Black Perspective: The Significance of Environmental Issues in the Black Community" is a one-day conference to be held Feb. 25 at Stony Brook University devoted to exploring the various ways Black activists, scholars, agriculturalists, and politicians have been (and are) currently responding to environmental issues within communities of color. At this time we are accepting papers that examine a variety of issues linked to environmentalism such as 1. the impact of toxic dump sites in urban communities, 2. the black community's involvement with green initiatives from the grassroots level to the international stage, 3. the relationship between environmentalism and activism within the black community, or 4. educating children of color about the vulnerability of the planet. Other topics will be taken into consideration. Please send your 300 word abstracts along with a cv by Dec 15, 2009 to: Dr. Tracey Walters Stony Brook University Dept of Africana Studies SBS 257 Stony Brook, NY 11794
