National Campaign to Spotlight the Deadly Mix of Toxic Racism and TCE Contamination on an African American Family

NASHVILLE, TN, November 23, 2007 – On Thursday, November 29, a coalition of national leaders, representing environmental justice, civil rights, scientists, women’s health, academia, faith-based and religious groups, legal, and elected officials, including congressional staffers, from around the country will meet at Nashville’s Fisk University and board a bus for Dickson, a small town located about 35 miles to the west.   

The national leaders will travel to Dickson and participate in the “Take Back Black Health Toxics Tour” and see for themselves in real time a slam-dunk, in-your-face case of environmental racism.  The tour is sponsored by the National Black Environmental Justice Network (NBEJN), Environmental Justice Resource Center at Clark Atlanta University (EJRC), Race Relation Institute at Fisk University   (RRI), Deep South Center for Environmental Justice at Dillard University (DSCEJ), Detroiters Working for Environmental Justice (DWEJ), and  WE ACT for Environmental Justice, Inc.
(WEACT).  

The tour will highlight the devastating impact of toxic contamination on a black family.  Tour organizers hope to raise awareness and for national leaders to put pressure on Congress to make the elimination of environmental hazards in low-income and people of color communities a national priority issue in the upcoming elections.   Continue Reading »
