Democracy Now: Body Shop Founder & Environmental Campaigner Anita Roddick 1942-2007

(I was saddened to learn about Roddick's death. I was fortunate to meet her when I was a grad student at Illinois State University--she was brilliant, generous, passionate and an inspiration for all who met her.)

A memorial will be held in London on Tuesday to remember the life of Dame Anita Roddick, the environmental campaigner and pioneer in cruelty-free beauty projects. We air a 2001 interview she did with Canadian filmmaker Mark Achbar during production of the documentary "The Corporation." Also, imprisoned Black Panther activist Herman Wallace remembers Anita Roddick's work to help free the Angola 3.
