"In the case of race and the environment, it’s not just who we imagine has something valuable to say. These assumptions, beliefs, and perceptions can be found in the very foundation of our environmental thinking, how we define the environment and how we think of ourselves in relationship with the environment. Who do we see, what do we see?"— From Black Faces, White Spaces: Reimagining the Relationship of African Americans to the Great Outdoors
