ENVIRONMENTAL ACTION COMMITTEE “TO PROTECT, PRESERVE, CONSERVE, & RESTORE”
The result of three years of painstaking research,
THE LIGHT BULB CONSPIRACY travels to the US, Germany, France, Spain and Ghana, and uses rare archive material and hitherto unseen internal company documents to separate fact from urban legend. It shows the terrible environmental consequences of Planned Obsolescence - like the immense cemeteries for electronic waste, which have appeared in countries such as Ghana - and presents a number of hands-on ideas from thinkers, designers, businessmen, as well as rebellious consumers, all working on saving the modern economy and the planet. All Funds Raised are to Benefit
Join us as we celebrate Martin Luther King’s birthday ON FRIDAY, JANUARY 13, 2012. Our guest that evening will be the Revered Canon Richard Livingston Marquess-Barry. Father Barry was born and reared in Miami, Florida. He is the offspring of Bahamian immigrants. A product of the MiamiDade County Public School System, he graduated from Miami Northwestern Senior High School in 1958 where his portrait hangs in the school’s Hall of Fame. At Virginia Theological Seminary, he was the only black student enrolled during his three years of study (1965-68). Canon Marquess-Barry has taught on both the secondary and collegiate levels. Father Barry is an ordained priest of the Episcopal Church (Anglican Communion) and has served as a priest for over 40 years. He was invested as an Honorary Canon of the African Orthodox Church in 1995 and invested as an Honorary Canon of Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in Miami, FL in 2001. In 1977, Father Barry was called to lead Saint Agnes’ Episcopal Church, the largest and oldest black Episcopal congregation in Miami. Under his leadership, Saint Agnes’ Episcopal Church adopted a HUD project, Rainbow Village Housing Development and forced the Miami-Dade Housing Agency to completely renovate the complex. He combined the tenant council of Rainbow Village and the Vestry of this parish to form the Saint Agnes’ Rainbow Village Community Development Corporation. Through this organization, eighty two-story, three and four bedroom single family homes for ownership have been built for low and moderate income families in the Overtown community adjacent to the Historic Saint Agnes.
