His real name was Ed Grant. He pioneered “environmental justice” before anyone invented the phrase.
Ed Grant’s mission took hold in the 1960s. He died on Jan. 1 at the age of 87; the mission will continue.
In that mission, Ed Grant made no distinction between the quest for a clean environment and organizing the grassroots to challenge power.
A funeral service commemorating Grant’s life will take place at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church on Whalley Avenue at 11 a.m. Monday
