"Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope; and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance." - Robert F. Kennedy Sr.
Why I’m Here

I'm here to support MTV's noble efforts.... I am from Alabama where my family has fought courageously for civil rights for over 140 years. My great uncle, U.S. Judge Frank M. Johnson, Jr., helped integrate Alabama, legally disbanded the Ku Klux Klan here, and ordered Governor George Wallace to allow the famous civil rights march from Selma to Montgomery. Civil rights and environmental justice is in my blood. As my Godfather Robert F. Kennedy Jr. points out, the struggle for a safer environment is the new civil rights battle of our time…that's why I started Black Warrior Riverkeeper in Alabama and that is why I am raising awareness through Think MTV!
