“Now all of the issues of environmental racism and environmental justice don’t just deal with people of color.
We are just as much concerned with inequities in Appalachia, for example, where the whites are basically dumped on
because of lack of economic and political clout and lack of having a voice to say “no” and that’s environmental injustice.”
Dr. Robert Bullard
