I must say , Reading this makes me ask again ...WHY do people not feel it is as important to Rise and be heard for the INJUSTICE of the HUMAN RIGHTS to live without being poisoned by companies for the revenues it will supply our government ??? from the article .... Now, 50 years after the passage of the Civil Rights Act segregation and discrimination under the law have for the most part been eliminated in the United States. Today, however, we struggle with widespread inequality based on economic and social divides that are not easily resolved by law. Environmental justice is a manifestation of the denial of civil rights, not by law, but by circumstance. That circumstance is based on discrimination which had its origin in slavery, continued with Jim Crow segregation, and lives today with a legacy that includes the use of prison systems as, what Michelle Alexander has couched, “The New Jim Crow.”
