FSC is partnering with KangJae "Jerry" Lee, Assistant Professor of Parks, Recreation & Tourism Management at North Carolina State University on a book and video about how historical racism has conceptualized, built, and managed U.S. public parks as "White space." This information aims to shed light on why US national and state parks are used predominantly by White Americans and the role systemic racism has played in shaping US leisure space and how "institutional racism has banished people of color from the great outdoors.” The book and video will specifically describe methods to rectify this ugly history and how we can make America's great outdoors more inclusive and welcoming - strategies for the systemic change FSC endorses. Here is a CNN interview with professor Lee providing a bit more detailed information.
