Majora Carter
Majora Carter is an African-American environmental justice advocate and economic consultant from the South Bronx area of New York City. Carter is best known for founding the non-profit environmental justice solutions organization Sustainable South Bronx (SSBx) before entering the private sector. In August 2001, after an unsuccessful campaign for City Council, Carter founded Sustainable South Bronx (SSBx), where she served as executive director until July 2008. During that time, SSBx advocated the development of the Hunt's Point Riverside Park which had been an illegal garbage dump[citation needed]on a street that terminated at the Bronx River; as well as another nearby riverside park which had been a concrete plant. During the same period, Majora Carter and SSBx were instrumental in opposing NY City and State government plans for a proposed solid waste transfer station in the same area. SSBx has also been involved in other restoration projects on the Bronx River waterfront. Later, in 2003, Sustainable South Bronx started the Bronx Environmental Stewardship Training program. This was one of the nation's first urban green collar training and placement systems. Other SSBx projects have centered around fitness, food choices (including the creation of a community market), and air quality. A December 2008 New York Times profile calling Carter "one of the city’s best-known advocates for environmental justice" but reported that some South Bronx activists stated that Carter has taken credit for accomplishments when others should share the credit as well as taking credit for uncompleted projects. Other Bronx activists stated that her recognition was well deserved.
