What is Environmental Racism
When deciding where to put hazardous facilities, the local government chose communities that do not have the social and economic power to resist. Many of the communities that were victims of this are previously redlined communities. These communities have been flooded with establishments that contribute to pollution like refineries, and toxic release facilities. Some of these communities include Signal Hill, Willowville, and North Long Beach.
