“To meet basic standards for healthy air, California has to shift to zero-emissions trucks and trains in the coming years. Diesel is one of the most dangerous kinds of air pollution for human health,” Paul Cort, director of Earthjustice’s Right to Zero campaign, said in a prepared statement.

“This might read like checking a bureaucratic box, but EPA’s approval is a critical step forward in protecting our lungs from pollution and our wallets from the expenses of combustion fuels,” said Paul Cort, director of Earthjustice’s Right to Zero campaign.

After accepting the award from presenters Kiefer Sutherland and Joely Richardson, Cort spoke for the producers and gave a shoutout to the film’s nominated director, Joe Sargent, who was in the audience and already had four Emmys for projects spanning from 1973 to 1992.

Cort noted that Sargent’s “courageous heart infuses every frame of our film.”

Two years before he made his “I Have a Dream” speech at the March on Washington in 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. attended the 100th performance of “Purlie Victorious” at the Cort Theater on Broadway.
