Barry
University School of Law hosts 3rd Annual
Environmental
Justice Summit
Memorial
Quilts Featured
On Friday, October 21, 2011, the Center for Earth
Jurisprudence at Barry University School of Law held their 3rd
Annual Environmental Justice Summit entitled “Serving People and the Planet.” Making an appearance at this year’s summit
were the Lake Apopka Farmworker Memorial Quilts.
Along with the quilts, former Lake Apopka
farmworkers provided members of the panel discussions and the audience with
first-hand accounts of what it means to be a farmworker and what the health
consequences of environmental injustices are. Keynote speaker, Majora
Carter, inspired the group with her presentation on the great strides she has
made in her community in New York, turning environmental injustice into
community successes. Thank you so much Barry University School of Law for
hosting the Lake Apopka Farmworker Memorial Quilts and supporting farmworkers!
