“One thing about the environmental justice movement…is that nobody wants to drink contaminated water. Nobody wants to breathe polluted air. And we don’t want our homes and land contaminated. That’s the commonality we have as human beings, and that we always have to protect.” – Cheryl Johnson, daughter of Hazel Johnson, mother of the Environmental Justice Movement

One of the most remarkable figures in the environmental justice movement lived in the Altgeld Apartments complex on the southeast side of Chicago, starting in 1962 and until her death in 2011. Hazel Johnson’s interest in environmental justice began with an event in her own life: the very early death of her husband at age 51 from lung cancer despite a minimal smoking history. Soon she began noticing other health issues in her friends and neighbors: breathing and skin problems, and high incidence of cancers. As she studied these issues, she learned that SE Chicago, where she lived, had the highest cancer incidence of any area in the city.

In 1979, Johnson founded the non-profit People for Community Recovery to address housing and environmental issues in her community. In the early 80’s, she used a citizen science approach to gather data about health and the environment, enlisting friends in surveying their neighbors. Together they discovered that almost everyone knew someone who was the victim of cancer between the ages of 35 and 55. In the mid 80’s, she worked with a young community organizer named ; together they revealed that her home, Altgeld Gardens, was built on a Pullman Palace Car Company dump contaminated by asbestos. She lobbied the Chicago Housing Authority tirelessly to get the site cleaned up. She began to suspect connections between the heavily industrialized areas that surrounded SE Chicago and the health problems low income and minority area residents were experiencing. She coined the phrase “the toxic doughnut” to poisonous geography that surrounded her home.

In the early 90’s, she began to travel and join with other people of color across the country who were making the same connections between health problems, and abandoned/polluted industrial areas around low-income residential spaces. In the beginning, she was often the only Black person at the environmental conferences she attended; but gradually the environmental justice movement attracted more followers. She gained well deserved national recognition for her efforts, and was present in 1994 when President Clinton signed the Environmental Justice Executive Order 12898. This order directed federal agencies to identify and address the disproportionally high human health effects of environmental pollution on people of color. Johnson was also a pioneer in noting changing weather patterns that we now refer to as climate change.

Throughout her life, Johnson encouraged a “culture of care” and supported the sense that we live in a common home entrusted to us by God, as eloquently describes in Laudato Si. The nonprofit Johnson founded, People for Community Recovery, continues her work today in SE Chicago, led by her daughter Cheryl Johnson. The solidarity that we as human beings experience with each other because we share common needs and a common home animated Hazel Johnson’s life, and continues to motivate us today.

Is Jesus calling out to you this Lent? Given all the challenges we continue to live with, are you longing for a felt sense of “God with you”? Or perhaps Jesus seems distant without you knowing why, and there is a hunger to hear his words of reassurance, comfort and hope?

During Lent our prayer in the online chapel will be grounded in a desire to develop a more personal and intimate relationship with Jesus. The readings, artwork and music will focus on getting to know Jesus as human, companion and friend. Each chapel begins with resting in God’s Presence followed by a time for reflecting on and responding to the reading, art or music of the day.

The chapel schedule is below, and you are welcome to join us whenever you are available. Register at bit.ly/ meditationchapels-osp to receive the Zoom link to participate. For further details about the experience go to contemplativecommunity.org.

FROM CARTHAGE TO CARDINAL

It all began when , a fifth grade student at St. Carthage grade school, informed his parish priest that he wanted to be a priest. Told by the priest that he was not even a Catholic, young Wilton Gregory responded with a question that began a most amazing journey: “Then what do I have to do?”

He became a Catholic. He went to the seminary for 12 years. He made a stop as a deacon in Park Ridge. He was ordained a priest. He served in Glenview. He then lived in earning his doctoral degree. Upon his return, he was a professor at the seminary from which he was ordained. He was ordained a bishop for the Archdiocese of Chicago. A few years after that, he became Bishop of Belleville, . He was elected by his brother bishops to be President of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. He was called to serve as Archbishop of Atlanta, Georgia, and currently he serves as Archbishop of Washington, D.C. In November 2020 Pope Francis elevated Archbishop Wilton Daniel Gregory to the of Cardinals, the highest rank in the , after the Pope.

Not a bad journey for a kid from the Englewood community on the South Side of Chicago! The First Friday Club has invited Cardinal Gregory to join us on March 5th at noon to reflect, reminisce, and offer his insights on key moments and highlights of his remarkable journey from a grade school in Chicago to a .
