Africatown: Groups seek to change 'environmental injustice' in Mobile zoning code

Africatown: Groups seek to change ‘environmental injustice’ in Mobile zoning code Updated Feb 28, 2021; Mobile’s Africatown community is poised to open a new museum this year, and other attractions are soon to follow with a Welcome Center and walking and water tours. The potential is due to the 2019 discovery of the slave ship Clotilda, which brought 110 enslaved Africans to the U.S. in 1860. Some predict the region becoming a massive draw that rivals the Equal Justice Initiative’s national lynching museum in Montgomery. But existing environmental issues that have spanned decades continue to plague the community. Activists believe those issues could be a hindrance to Africatown’s potential, and are taking their case to city officials. On Thursday, concerns were expressed over a lack of environmental justice that has harmed the community for decades, and which should be addressed within the rewrite of Mobile’s zoning and land development code - the first major revision of the city’s codes since the mid-60s.
