"For every Jackie Robinson or Shirley Chisolm that New Yorkers can feel good about, there was a nefarious character like Richard Riker who dealt in infamy."
Funny story. We planned this to be a 20 minute chat but then we got talking . . . . I love it when a #podcast interview becomes a real conversation! Thank you Yeah-Uh-Huh for this great experience.

Pleased to share my article "Energy Justice and Renewable Rikers." It is the lead article of the latest volume of the #MiamiLawReview. It draws in part on all the #history research I did for #NamingGotham. TLDR: If we start by prioritizing justice, we think about problems (and their answers) in new ways.
