San Francisco, July 26 (RHC)-- The Sierra Club has apologized for the racist views held by the conservationist John Muir who founded the organization in 1892 and has been called the “The Father of our National Parks.”

Sierra Club’s executive director Michael Brune wrote this week: “As defenders of Black life pull down Confederate monuments across the country, we must also take this moment to reexamine our past and our substantial role in perpetuating white supremacy.  It’s time to take down some of our own monuments.”
