The name Hazel Johnson is synonymous with the term environmental justice. For those who are not aware of that, Respair Production & Media’s podcast “Help This Garden Grow” spells it out, documentary-style, over six episodes. The late Johnson was the founder of the nonprofit People for Community Recovery, an Altgeld Gardens community-based organization that has been fighting environmental injustices for 40 years.

But we die today because we don’t read and learn, and we have to change that mindset.
