TOXIC WASTES AND RACE AT TWENTY: WHY RACE STILL MATTERS AFTER ALL OF THESE YEARS
Toxic Wastes and Race in the United States, issued in 1987 by the United Church of Christ (UCC) Commission for Racial Justice, is a landmark report. The research showed the unequal environmental challenges impacting people of colour and low-income communities around the country.
. The study spawned a national grassroots environmental justice movement, as well as widespread academic and governmental interest. In 2007, the UCC commissioned top environmental justice experts to write a new report titled Toxic Wastes and Race at Twenty: Grassroots Struggles to End Environmental Racism in the United States.
The new study not only updates and commemorates the 1987 report, but also evaluates accomplishments made over the past two decades. Robert D. Bullard is the director of Clark Atlanta University’s Environmental Justice Resource Centre. His most recent novel is named.
Growing Smarter: Achieving Liveable Communities, Environmental Justice, and Regional Equity (2007). ∗∗
