There was delicious food, hot chocolate and a lot of the neighborhood came out to celebrate with Majora and the Majora Carter Group.

Ms. Eva, who’s been a daycare hero in the Hunts Point neighborhood for generations, brought her kids to the celebration and she said a few words about the mural, as well.

This mural will be the first in a series of public art that we hope to fund. To find out more about the future of Uptown Girl Power, feel free to contact our office at info@majoracartergroup.com.

“I’m interested in what I like to call the “triple bottom line” that sustainable development can produce. Developments that have the potential to create positive returns for all concerned: the developers, government and the community where these projects go up… There’s enough precedent out there to show that a sustainable, community-friendly development can still make a fortune.”

In an emotionally charged talk, MacArthur-winning activist Majora Carter details her fight for environmental justice in the South Bronx — and shows how minority neighborhoods suffer most from flawed urban policy.
