This podcast episode looks at the protests of 1987 in Warren County, North Carolina where a toxic waste landfill was sited. This community was a poor, rural, and largely minority community that had to unfairly carry environmental burdens. 

Environmental racism is a massive problem across the world and within the United States. However, it does not receive the media attention it deserves, especially in 2020 when the election and pandemic have been at the center of attention. This podcast will serve as an introduction to the topic.
