(DNAINFO) Gwynn Hogan and Eddie Small | July 21, 2016 — Bronx activist Mychal Johnson wants the water opened up for public access.

Each episode of This Is New York brings you a conversation with a DNAinfo New York reporter, followed by a story central to their beat.

This week we go the South Bronx, first speaking with neighborhood reporter Eddie Small then heading on a tour of the neighborhood’s neglected waterfront with Mychal Johnson, an environmental and neighborhood activist.

Johnson, who was removed from a position on his local community board by Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. after opposing the Fresh Direct facility that’s currently under construction, has since dedicated his energies to a nonprofit called South Bronx Unite.
