From Grist.org at the White House event announcing the Sept. 11 plot:The 20th century was defined by civil rights and The 21st century will be defined by clean energy,” said Rev. Lennox Yearwood Jr., president of the Hip Hop Caucus. “Future generations will measure us by our success in transitioning from a fossil fuel economy to a clean energy economy, and in the process building opportunity and prosperity for our most economically disenfranchised communities.”
“We have to convince our generation that this truly is our lunch-counter moment of the 21st century,” said Yearwood, referring to the sit-ins held at segregated diners during the Civil Rights era.
The initiative will officially kick-off with a day of service on September 11, 2009—part of the White House’s already announced United We Serve program. The Green the Block website has more information on local initiatives taking place around the country.
