Tonight's the night two innovative hearts and minds meet: Majora Carter and Wyclef Jean, together at WNYC's Greene Space.

We'd love for you to join us, but tickets are out! So, we'll be live-streaming this event here on our homepage and at WNYC starting 6 pm EST, and live-tweeting @thepromisedland

Majora sits down with Grammy-award winning musician Wyclef Jean for a conversation on his work as an artist, activist, and humanitarian. Most people know him for his ground-breaking hip-hop music, but Wyclef uses it as a way to focus worldwide attention of his native country of Haiti.

They'll talk about how Wyclef has created awareness of the needs of Haiti, through his music and through his commitment to Haiti’s long-term progress by creating small-scale, manageable, and replicable projects with his organization Yele Haiti. Wyclef will perform a few surprise songs to a crowd of 120 at the street-level Jerome L. Greene Space.

Also joining is Jeffrey Swartz, president and CEO of the Timberland Company. Last year, Timberland launched its Earthkeepers Movement in an effort to engage 1 million consumers across the globe to support environmental stewardship.

Van Jones moves fast — so fast, sometimes, that the print world can’t keep up. For example, take this exchange, from an interview with Yes! Magazine: Sarah van Gelder: Are you planning to be part of the Obama administration? Van Jones: Uh, no! (lau...

East Belfast is a town full of dividing lines, mostly between Protestant and Catholic. They're called peace walls, but they look more like the fence around a maximum security prison. Some of them are over fifty feet high: ten feet of brick topped wit...
