  2. "Case Study Environmental Justice" Nita Clark and Dr. Albert Clark

    Abstract

    The term “Cancer Alley” was coined by two environmentalist activist Darryl Malek-Wiley and Richard Miller in the 1980’s. Though some studies have tried to dismiss it as a myth, it is used to describe a stretch of the lower Mississippi river between Baton Rouge and New Orleans covering some 100 miles. This paper questions the impact that the more than 300 petrochemical plants have had on the poor who live along this chemical corridor and how it relates to the concept of environmental justice and community planning.
