Norco Environmental Activist, Margie Eugene Richard, is the 2004 North American recipient of the prestigious Goldman Environmental Award. Margie is one of only seven world-wide to receive the award this year. She is also the only recipient from North American and the first African American to recieve this award.
She will be honored at a reception at Xavier University of Louisiana on June 11, 2004.
