The Real Thirst Trap: Environmental Injustice and the Crisis Affecting Black Communities
Description
In this special edition of REVOLT BLACK NEWS, we investigate the crisis affecting the water and air in Black communities across the country. From Flint, Michigan to Louisiana's "Cancer Alley" to Watts, California, broken systems are causing concentrated pollutants in predominantly Black communities, leading to short and long-term health effects and financial burdens. We also examine the potential for pollutants to affect behavior and contribute to violence. Through interviews with community organizers, environmental justice activists, and legal experts, we discuss the responsibilities of government and elected officials in addressing these issues and the steps that can be taken by communities to fight against environmental injustice.
RBN investigates updates on the Shanquella Robinson, Tyre Nichols, and AJ Owens cases, examines the drop in Black doctors and what can be done to increase the numbers, and presents a piece on financial literacy.
