WABE-Atlanta radio talk show host Valerie Jackson moderates a town hall-style panel discussion on Global Warming and other environmental challenges, featuring national environmental leaders. The event includes a video message from Congressman John Lewis, a letter read from Senator Barack Obama, and a spoken word performance by Doria Roberts. This National African American Earth Day Summit is sponsored by The Keeping It Wild program, which is a series of events to raise public awareness about the importance of Southeastern wild lands. This event honors the contributions of African American conservationists, re-energizes and builds partnerships among diverse communities engaged in natural lands protection in Georgia and the Southeast. Keeping it Wild is a program of The Wilderness Society, a national member group of Earth Share. Keeping it Wild connects people to the land and to each other in order to protect and conserve our wildlands.
