Hello beloved survivors. We're taking some time off this summer, but in our absence,

we wanted to share some other shows in our ecology.

Today we're playing part of a docu series called Help This Garden Grow.

The show tells the story of a visionary of the

environmental justice movement, Hazel Johnson. Hazel is the founder of People

for Community Recovery, a 40-year-old organization that

fights to address the toxic industrial pollution that has been killing the

members of her community policymakers, historians, and community members about how PCR emerged and led, the legacy

of Miss Johnson's work, and how this marginalized Chicago Pocket built the lineage of today's vibrant, impactful,

and necessary modern environmental justice movement. Help this garden grow is presented by

Respere Production and Media, Elevate, and People for Community Recovery. I'm going to be given the history of PCR some of the things that we have done.

Some of you have heard me say about 99 times and some of you haven't.

We have a lot of people that has cancer.

We have infants and the majority of these girls that was born with some type of brain damage.

We have a lot of people that suffer with respiratory problems and if you notice I do too in order to breathe.

My work is known nationally.

I go all out of town making presentation talking about the things I have done

here in the city of Chicago. And with this we hope to prove that our health

problem is related to pollution. Thank you. Welcome to help this garden grow.

My name is Daniel, and I'm Damon.

The story we're about to tell you.

The story of Hazel Johnson changed our lives, and we needed to change yours too.
