Join the winner of this year’s Jane Jacobs Medal for Lifetime Achievement on a bus tour highlighting issues of environmental justice in Harlem. This tour will examine how noxious hazards such as garbage and bus depots—often placed there by the city government —co-exist with some of the city’s cultural treasures, such as the museums and arts institutions of “El Barrio,” Marcus Garvey Park, and the new Harlem Waterfront Park. Limited space. $25, $20 MAS members/students.
Reserve online at www.mas.org or call 212-935-2075. Leader: Peggy Shepard, co-founder and executive director of West Harlem Environmental Action (WE ACT). (Meeting place will be provided to registrants).
