Evette: The River and Me
Washington D.C. – 2021Clean Water Action
On the day of the river cleanup, Evette, her family, Maritza, and Makena meet at the swimming hole. Kasey comes to help with some of his friends, too. Ashlyn, Ziggy, and Gia arrive as well.
Kasey explains that getting rid of large trash like furniture and tires isn’t free, so people dump things in areas where people aren’t looking, which is environmental discrimination, since most of that happens in Black neighborhoods.
Although lots of people came out, Gran E isn’t one of them. But by the end of the day, the whole area is cleaned up.
