Racial Injustice John Muir

A wood-carved statue of John Muir by R.L. Blair is seen on the road leading to Sequoia National Park near the city of Woodlake, Calif., Jan. 17, 2015. The Sierra Club is reckoning with the racist views of founder John Muir, the naturalist who helped spawn environmentalism. The San Francisco-based environmental group said Wednesday, July 22, 2020 that Muir was part of the group's history perpetuating white supremacy. Executive Director Michael Brune says Muir made racist remarks about Black people and Native Americans, though his views later evolved. (AP Photo/Brian Melley)
