Black birdwatcher Christian Cooper's encounter with a “Central Park Karen” helped fuel the push for racial justice in 2020, and today, he's still doing great things.⁠ ⁠ “I’m a writer,” he said. “And now a TV host, and an activist, have been for a long time, and of course a birder, and also a Black, gay nerd. I guess there are a lot of labels in there. But you know those are the ones that apply and that I’m comfortable with.”⁠ ⁠ Cooper told Blavity that he initially had no idea that his dispute with Amy Cooper, no relation, in Central Park over her unleashed dog would become a major focal point in the movement to protect Black lives and bring about racial justice. ⁠ ⁠ Nevertheless, he said he was “glad to contribute something to the conversation.” ⁠ ⁠ #LinkInBio to read more on his new book, his new National Geographic show, and his place in history. // #Blavity #ChristianCooper #Interview
