Tune in, TIVO it, DVR it, VCR it – Majora Carter will be featured in a story by Ann Thompson on NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams tonight! The show should also be streaming on http://nightly.msnbc.com in case you miss it.
Ann Thompson, Cheif Environmental Affairs Correspondent at NBC, and her crew followed Majora around the country over the last few weeks and was in the office just last week. She’s was wonderful to work with on what will surely be an inspirational piece about Majora, her past projects and present work with the Majora Carter Group. We’re extremely proud to be sharing our pioneering story - about unlocking the potential of so many places, communities and people - with so many folks.
Let us know if you saw it! (Stay posted here and on twitter – we’ll let you know if the piece goes up on Hulu!)

Wow! What a woman! Great piece w Brian Jennings! Led me to this website….
It would be wonderful to do such a venture as the Bronx Park along the water… here in Philadelphia. So many of our Phila nighborhoods could use it! The city of murals needs to get greener too. Peace be with you.
I think your piece of Ms. Carter was thorough and wonderful and we should have more ladies like her in the universe!!! Frequently in my younger years I would travel to NYC from Westchester and when I got to the areas before 125th street I would wonder how they would ever change anything – now I know! My hat is off to Ms. Carter.
Just what did you mean by that crack about White Old Men, Majora? You are a self promoting spender of other people’s money. Don’t come to this old white man’s door begging for money to enhance your influence. I have better charities to serve than to promote your career.
