Special Encore Presentation: Environmental Justice: Race, Class and Environmental Quality - a podcast by Jill Buck

Do America’s poor, working-class, and persons of color bear a disproportionate share of the country’s environmental problems? Are environmental hazards to human health more likely to be located near the neighborhoods of those who are the most vulnerable and least powerful in our society? Has the mainstream environmental movement helped –or hurt- the underrepresented segments of our population with NIMBY-ism? Today we’ll explore these sensitive, but essential topics with the “father of Environmental Justice”, Dr. Robert Bullard. Professor Bullard was featured in the July 2007 CNN People You Should Know, in 2008, Newsweek named him one of 13 Environmental Leaders of the Century, and in 2013, he was honored with the Sierra Club John Muir Award, the first African American to win the award.
