New Charlotte exhibit highlights climate equality in a changing world

An exhibit at Charlotte's Museum of the New South this summer examines the global phenomenon of climate change as a local issue, through the eyes of educators and their students. The exhibition "Climates of Inequality: Stories of Environmental Justice" was organized by the Humanities Action Lab at Rutgers University in New Jersey and includes local stories of climate effects and injustice from 23 cities. It's been traveling the country, adding local stories all along the way, including from Durham, Greensboro, Princeville and now Charlotte.A companion exhibit organized locally zeroes in on Charlotte. "Climate Refugees in the City of Creeks" looks at environmental change, displacement and climate-related migration. Both exhibits, with Spanish and English text, are in the museum's space on the ground floor at Three Wells Fargo Center, 401 South Tryon St., in uptown Charlotte.
