Annenberg award-winning journalist Tom Molanphy's Marie's Tree: Implosions and Injustice in San Francisco tells the story of environmental activist Marie Harrison (1948-2019) of San Francisco's Bayview Hunters Point and her three major battles: saving her home of Geneva Towers from implosion; advocating for the removal of polluting PG&E stacks; and protecting her community from contamination from one of the country's worst superfund cleanup sites. Marie Harrison (1948-2019), an environmental activist of San Francisco's Bayview Hunters Point, spent her life fighting for basic services such as housing, energy, and employment that had become money makers for a few but a dream deferred for her community. What she endured - the brown water that ran out of her taps at Geneva Towers; the blood that ran from her grandson's nose while living next door to the PG&E smokestacks; and the fear of radiation poisoning from one of the country's worst superfund cleanup sites - are environmental injustices citizens of the United States suffer every day.
