Referred to as “the Father of Environmental Justice,” Dr. Robert Bullard 
has been the leading voice against environmental racism for decades, 
including the Flint water crisis and hurricane recovery in Houston and 
Puerto Rico. Dr. Bullard is the recipient of numerous awards, including: 
the Sierra Club’s John Muir Award,  the Conservation Achievement Award 
from the National Wildlife Federation, the Building Economic 
Alternatives Award from Co-op America, and named one of thirteen 
“Environmental Leaders of the Century” by Newsweek. He is the author of 
eighteen acclaimed books demonstrating his expertise in sustainable 
development, environmental racism, urban land use, industrial facility 
siting, community reinvestment, housing, transportation, climate 
justice, emergency response, smart growth, and regional equity.

This event is organized by the Departments of Africana Studies and
