Strange Fruit: Race, Violence, and Environment

The Problems

• African Americans are missing the opportunities to reap the economic, social, physical and psychological benefits provided by wilderness, urban forests, and community green spaces. This is a crisis given the rise of obesity, diabetes, and urban stress which disproportionately impact African Americans.
• Statistically, despite similar financial means as people of Chicano and Latino descent, African Americans do not use wilderness recreation areas at a rate that represents their population even when they live near the public lands.
• The legacy of race violence and the resulting psychological trauma, as well as social barriers may subconsciously contribute to the disenfranchisement of many African Americans in feel the beauty and serenity of wild and wooded places in the U.S.
