“Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas was not just a legal giant, but also a powerful environmentalist; He marched. He argued. He dissented.

Margaret McKeown will have this article in this upcoming Sunday’s issue of the Pacific NW Magazine of The Seattle Times.

According to the bio that accompanies the article, “Judge McKeown is writing a book about Justice Douglas’ environmental legacy.” You can learn more about the book at this link.
