'A Sister' Takes the Helm at EPA. By Mireya Navarro, NYTimes, January 30, 2009. "The new Environmental Protection Agency chief, Lisa P. Jackson, chose a national conference of environmental justice groups meeting in New York for her first public appearance as a cabinet member of the new Obama administration. Speaking at Fordham University's Lincoln Center Campus in Manhattan, Ms. Jackson assured the audience that the new president understands urban issues and the concerns of low income communities who feel disproportionately affected by pollution and other environmental problems. She pledged 'a listening ear and a heart' and a commitment to address climate change based on sound science. 'That ensures that all communities feel at the end of the day that they are all being protected,' she said."
