Q&A with Catherine Coleman Flowers
Catherine Coleman Flowers
In her new book “Waste: One Woman’s Fight Against America’s Dirty Secret,” Catherine Coleman Flowers refuses to conceal the toxic reality of environmental injustice in the U.S. She experienced it first-hand in her home of Lowndes County just down the road from Selma, Alabama where families’ health and safety is endangered by inadequate sanitation infrastructure. It’s a problem felt in America’s “Black Belt” as well as other rural communities around the country.
But Flowers also refuses to conceal her hope. Bringing light to a largely invisible issue, the truth-teller mobilizes communities, churches and policymakers to take action. In Flowers’ journey from a young civil rights activist to a seasoned environmental justice advocate, her fellow Christians will recognize a divine calling.

Book description
In this book, first published in 1862, Edward Bean Underhill gives an engaging account of a journey to the West Indies on behalf of the Baptist Missionary Society. He visited Baptist churches in Trinidad, Haiti, Jamaica, Cuba and the Bahamas in order to evaluate the religious state of the many congregations that were established there after the Emancipation Act. Underhill emphasizes that the religious and social consequences of the Emancipation for the people of the West Indies cannot be viewed independently of one another. He finds that the islands, on their own terms, have made the best possible use of the freedom obtained. Underhill gives an elaborate and vivid description of his impression of the islands, but his main focus is on Jamaica, which he finds has benefited most of all.
