History of Environmental Justice
Environmental Justice began as a movement in 1980s Warren County, NC, when hundreds of community members and activists protested the disposal of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the mostly black North Carolina county. Then, in 1987, the United Church of Christ published a report that showed race and class differences were the cause of significant disparities in the placement of toxic waste in the United States.
