Sunday, February 2 at 3pm at The NewSouth Bookstore: Catherine Coleman Flowers with Holy Ground: On Activism, Environmental Justice, and Finding Hope
February 2, 2025 @ 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm
A new book by the author of Waste brings Catherine Coleman Flowers to The NewSouth Bookstore on Sunday, February 2 at 3pm. Holy Ground: On Activism, Environmental Justice, and Finding Hope is an inspiring collection of essays — personal and political — from the leading environmental justice activist of our time. Flowers has dedicated her life to fighting for the most vulnerable communities, who have been deprived of the basic civil right to a clean, safe, and sustainable environment. Holy Ground frames the challenges we face as a society and charts a way toward equity and a brighter future for us all. U.S. Senator Cory Booker says “Catherine Flowers has informed, inspired, and ignited me in just fights for years. Holy Ground reminds us that we are all capable of taking action to right persistent wrongs.”
