National Parks Diversity, "Brown People Camping" Initiative
ABC News featured a report on the lack of diversity in American national parks, describing them as "stubborn bastions of self-segregation." Ambreen Tarek, founder of "Brown People Camping," argues that people of color often feel unwelcome in the wilderness. The report questions why the "overwhelmingly white" demographics of park visitors persist and calls for efforts to make these spaces more inclusive.
